    What to know locally: The city adopted the 2020 National Electrical Code on October 14, 2021 (Ordinance 2021-31). The city is in the process of adopting the 2024 I-Codes; the proposed amendments adopt the 2023 NEC with local changes, such as requiring the service disconnect at a readily accessible location outside the building (services over 1,200 A may be inside a commercial building within 25 ft of the exterior entrance).

    Utility coordination: Oncor. Oncor works through your retail electric provider. Its customer checklist lists an approved city inspection (green tag) on the right ESI ID, plus a meter socket that meets Oncor specifications, before it energizes. Taylor is a retail choice area, so businesses pick a retail electric provider (the city points to Power to Choose).
