In Texas's deregulated market, the company that maintains your power lines (the delivery utility, or TDU) is completely separate from the company that sells you the electricity itself (the retail provider). You don't get to choose your TDU — it's assigned by your address — but it's worth knowing which one serves you, since that's genuinely what determines your real plan options and pricing, not your city name.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a delivery utility and an electricity provider?
The delivery utility (TDU) owns the physical wires, meters, and outage response for your area — you don't get to choose it, it's assigned by where you live. The electricity provider is the company you do choose, the one that actually sells you the electricity. Every plan's price already includes the TDU's delivery charge.
How many delivery utilities does I Moved to Texas cover?
We track 6 deregulated Texas delivery utilities: Oncor, CenterPoint Energy, Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP), AEP Texas Central, AEP Texas North, and Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L).
Why do some ZIP codes have more than one delivery utility?
TDU service-area boundaries and ZIP code boundaries were drawn independently and don't always line up, so a handful of ZIP codes genuinely span more than one utility's territory. Our tool checks for this automatically and asks which utility serves your specific address when it matters.
