FAQ

Questions about moving to Irving

If you live in the ERCOT region and aren’t served by an electric co-op or a city-owned utility, you have the power to choose your electric provider. Power to Choose, a PUCT website, helps you pick a provider and plan.

A deposit and service fee are required for all metered services, and residential deposits are based on the meter size at the property. Your deposit is refunded after 12 full months of service if you have no more than two late payments.
