What "Municipal Utility" Means
Most of Texas is "deregulated" — meaning you can shop around for a light company. But Georgetown runs its own utility, Georgetown Utility Systems. That means:
- → One company, one rate. You can't switch light companies because Georgetown Utility Systems is the only option.
- → City-controlled pricing. Rates are set by the city council, not the open market. That usually means more stable prices.
- → No credit gatekeeping. Municipal utilities generally don't deny service based on credit. You call, you get service.
Did you know? Georgetown is one of the first cities in Texas powered by 100% renewable energy sources.
