Oncor New Construction Tree Pruning

TREE PRUNING

Tree branches tangled in power lines cause countless power outages. Plan before you plant. Choose the right tree for the area, and be sure it has plenty of room to grow without creeping into power lines.








CALL BEFORE YOU DIG

While landscaping enhances properties and creates valuable curb appeal, it can quickly become dangerous and costly if you hit a power line or other service line buried underground. Always call before you break ground.









METER TAMPERING

When individuals try to bypass an electric meter, they not only break the law, they risk exposure to live wires and possible injury. If you suspect meter tampering, report it to Oncor at 888.313.6862


Down Power Lines

Never approach, touch, or attempt to move a downed power line or any object in contact with a power line. Contact with power lines can cause serious injury or even death.

An ESI ID, or Electric Service Identifier, is a 17-digit number found on an electric bill that is unique to a property address. The ESI ID can then be used when contacting a REP to set up an account to establish electric service.

If a property has multiple meters at one address, such as an apartment complex, each meter will have a separate ESI ID.

If you need assistance identifying your ESI ID, please contact your Retail Electric Provider (the company to which you pay your electric bill). If you do not have a REP, click here to see if your property has an ESI ID
