About Dallas
What you're shopping for power in.
Dallas is the third-largest Texas city, anchor of the largest Texas metro by population, and one of the top corporate-HQ concentrations in the U.S. (AT&T, Texas Instruments, Southwest Airlines all HQ here or adjacent). The city sprawls across Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties with neighborhoods ranging from Pre-War Highland Park to new high-rise Uptown to far-north suburbs in Frisco and McKinney.
Climate & bill pattern
Hot dry summers (100°F+ common in July-August), cold winters with regular hard freezes (Winter Storm Uri hit hard here in 2021).
Median home is 1,800-2,200 sq ft; summer AC load dominates, but winter heating spikes (especially during freezes) push annual bills closer to the Houston level than the climate alone would suggest.
