ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Economic development is a cornerstone of the Lone Star State.  At Oncor, we're not only proud of our heritage as a  deeply-rooted company that's been serving Texas since 1912, we're an advocate for others. We know energy infrastructure and costs are crucial considerations for businesses starting, relocating, and growing in Texas.

We promote the pro-business environment by working directly with the Governor's Office for Economic Development and collaborating with state, regional, and local economic development offices across the state. It's our way of helping ensure Texas remains an attractive choice for the businesses already here, and those to come. With relationships in more than 400 communities, Oncor can help you find the right location for your relocation, expansion or new business.

Texas is a diverse and expansive state with never-ending potential transformed into reality by the people who call it home. From the oil fields out west, across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, to the piney woods of east Texas and down to central Texas, we are proud to serve the communities that make Texas a great place to live and do business.

Texas means business. There are so many compelling reasons to consider bringing your business to Texas. The Lone Star State is powered by affordable reliable electric service and we lead the nation in wind energy—helping businesses achieve their renewable energy goals. Every Texas business benefits from some of the lowest corporate income taxes in the nation. Along with a competitive electric market and a skilled workforce, here are a few more reasons Texas should be on your short list:

• Texas is one of the only states with no personal income tax
• North Texas is home to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Alliance Industrial Airport, and Dallas Love Field Airport
• Texas boasts more than 300,000 miles of public roads and more than 10,000 miles of rail—the largest in the nation
• Texas is the only state with its own fully contained electric grid, and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) continuously reviews and expands transmission capacity as needed
