Sharyland Utilities
Texas electricity customers that live in a deregulated energy market have the ability to choose a retail electricity company like Payless Power to ensure that they are enrolled in the best energy plans and have the lowest electricity rates. However, the state of Texas still determines which Transmission and Delivery Service Provider (TDSP) actually delivers electricity to your home depending on what area you live in. Texas utility companies are responsible for transmitting, connecting and disconnecting electricity, owning and maintaining power lines, reading energy meters, and addressing power outages. Learn more information about Sharyland Utilities, a Texas utility company that previously transmitted and delivered energy among other services to energy customers in several regions across the state before transferring all of its customers to Oncor Electric Delivery in 2017.
About Sharyland Utilities
Sharyland Utilities, which is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, transitioned all 50,000 of their electricity customers to Oncor Electric Delivery when it was acquired from Hunt Utility Services in 2017. This huge transition impacted the Texas cities of Midland, Big Spring, Stanton, Brady, Celeste, McAllen, and Greenville, whose distribution services are now managed by Oncor Electric Delivery. Moving to Oncor ultimately offered previous Sharyland Utilities customers more competitive rates, which they didn’t benefit from when under the Hunt Family’s management. While Sharyland Utilities no longer acts within the retail electricity distribution market, it still serves as a transmission entity.
