Texas deregulated its energy market in 2002. In short, this bill puts the power in the hands of Cedar Hill customers, as it lets residents and business owners pick their own energy supplier from a virtual marketplace of companies.

Prior to energy deregulation, the utility company had a virtual monopoly and could set any price they wanted for energy. Now, energy deregulation has given customers more choice while driving down their monthly energy bill.

Energy deregulation can be compared to shopping for a new car, since consumers can choose to purchase the same exact vehicle from different dealerships based on price. With energy deregulation, consumers can now do the same by shopping for the same services from many companies with different prices. Check out local prices now!

Prior to deregulation, a single utility company was responsible for transmitting, distributing, and collecting payment for residential and business energy needs. While the transmission and distribution is handled by one company, Oncor Electric, customers can pick from a pool of energy suppliers for the sale and payment of their energy needs.

Oncor Electric is responsible for servicing Cedar Hill’s utility service area. Oncor Electric Delivery is the sixth largest utility company in the United States and the largest in Texas. This regulated electric delivery business services 7.5 million consumers throughout Texas. While energy must be delivered by Oncor, customers can select from a variety of energy suppliers in Cedar Hill.

Those suppliers include such companies as TXU Energy, TriEagle and Bounce Energy. Enter your zip code above to find out what they’re offering in your area.

As mentioned above, Texas is first in the nation for wind energy production. Not surprisingly, Cedar Hill is following in the footsteps of Texas through a commitment to using solar power, wind energy and other alternative forms of energy.
