Electricity: Benefits of Municipal Utility

Greenville's municipally-owned electric utility provides a number of advantages for city residents including:

• Competitive rates - GEUS' not-for-profit status affords consumers very competitive electrical rates
  
• Customer service - We don't like talking to computers, and we assume you don't either. When you call our customer service line (903- 457-2888), 24 hours a day, a friendly person answers your questions and helps solve your problems!
  
• Convenient locations - Drive-up windows at two locations have been set up for your convenience. The GEUS Service Center drive-up is open until 6 p.m. on Thursdays.
  
• Local control - Your friends and neighbors serve on our governing board to set rates and formulate policies. Greenville dollars stay right here, where they benefit local residents instead of out-of-state stockholders.
  
• Reliability - The overall reliability of the GEUS system has provided power to Greenville consumers more than 99.98% of the time during the past 12 months. With more than 500 miles of distribution lines, an occasional outage is inevitable. Our experienced local crews respond to outages immediately to restore your power fast.
  
• Ease of billing - Your GEUS electric bill is included with your City of Greenville utility bill. You can write just one check for all of these services.
  
• Consumer savings - GEUS pays the City of Greenville more than $2 million annually. Part of this payment covers the electric utility's cost of joint services shared by the City and GEUS. Sharing services such as meter reading, billing, personnel, and insurance services results in lower electric rates and lower taxes for local residents.
  
• Economic development - GEUS annually transfers $300,000 to the Greenville Board of Development for use in attracting new commercial and residential development in the city.
