Retail Competition Plan for Brady, Celeste, Colorado City, and Stanton Service Territories
On August 17, 2012, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) unanimously approved the retail competition plan filed by Sharyland Utilities that will transition its Brady, Celeste, Colorado City, and Stanton service territories to retail electric competition as early as May 1, 2014.
Sharyland's retail customers in these service territories currently do not have the option to purchase their power in the competitive retail electric markets. Their electric rates are still regulated and set by the PUCT.
Under the approved plan, Sharyland will host public meetings beginning in 2013 to help prepare our customers for the transition to competition.
As this process continues, additional important dates and timelines related to the transition to competition will be added to this page as appropriate.
