Setting Up Utilities in Winfield, Texas
Winfield, the small town between Mount Pleasant and Mount Vernon on I-30, is outside Texas's deregulated electricity market — the state's Power to Choose site returns no competitive plans for ZIP 75493. Power comes from SWEPCO, the regulated utility for Titus County, so you open an account with SWEPCO rather than comparing plans.
