DFW Local Guide: Utilities, Cities & Climate

Who are the electric utilities in Dallas–Fort Worth?

Oncor delivers power to most DFW addresses, and residents there choose a retail electric provider. Some cities run their own utilities, such as Garland Power & Light and Denton Municipal Electric, and electric co-ops such as CoServ serve parts of Denton, Collin and nearby counties. Solar rules, buyback and interconnection depend on which one serves your address.

Is DFW a good place for solar?

Yes — North Texas gets strong year-round sunshine, and a well-oriented DFW system can produce roughly 1,400–1,500 kWh per kW per year as a planning figure. Hot summers line up high production with high AC demand. Hail, trees and roof age are the local factors to check carefully.

How does Texas rank for solar?

Texas ranks #2 in the U.S. for installed solar and #2 for energy storage capacity, and it led the nation in new solar installed in the first half of 2026. Most of that is utility-scale, but residential solar plus batteries is growing quickly as homeowners look for bill control and backup.
