## Who delivers electricity in Frisco?
Every Frisco-addressed home in ERCOT's competitive data is on Oncor's wires (29,171 active residential meters, October 5, 2026).

## Can every address in Frisco choose?
**Only parts of Frisco are in retail-choice areas.** Much of Frisco is served by CoServ Electric, an electric co-op, and co-op members can’t choose a retail provider. Before you shop, check the exact service address on the compare page (https://powerhopper.energy/compare), or look up the meter’s ESI ID (the ID number for an electric meter in ERCOT’s competitive market) with the ESI ID lookup (https://powerhopper.energy/esidlookup). If the address has an active ESI ID on Oncor’s wires, it can choose a provider; if it has none, it is likely served by CoServ or another utility without retail choice.
