## Permits & Power in Garland



### Who issues the permit

Electrical permits for work in Garland are issued by the city, and it is the city that inspects the finished work. Requirements, fees and inspection scheduling differ from one DFW city to the next. Garland Power & Light is a municipally owned utility and is the sole provider for roughly 85% of the city, so the remainder is served by another utility. Which one you have determines who releases the meter.

Clements Electric pulls the permit and schedules the inspection as part of the job. Texas Electrical Contractor TECL #40628.



### Who owns the wires

Most Garland addresses are served by Garland Power & Light . Part of the city is served by Oncor Electric Delivery instead — utility territory does not follow city limits.

This matters on a service or panel upgrade: the utility named on your electric bill is the one that has to disconnect and then release the meter before the new service can be energized. Worth checking your bill before scheduling, and we coordinate that call either way.



## Solar Panels & a Standby Generator in Garland

If your Garland home has grid-tied solar, the solar has to connect on the utility side of the generator’s transfer switch, between the meter and the switch, so the generator can never feed the solar inverters. We explain why in adding a standby generator to a home with solar panels . How that connection is made depends on the utility that serves your address , and more than one serves Garland: Garland Power & Light or Oncor Electric Delivery. Check the name on your electric bill, because utility territory does not follow city limits.



### Garland Power & Light ( municipal utility )


- Meter socket: Only GP&L agents may remove a meter seal or lock, and GP&L&#x27;s standard connection sequence is line, meter, switch, fuse, load.
- Generator and transfer switch: GP&L says the only safe way to connect a generator to household circuits is through a double-pole, double-throw transfer switch, and that opening a main breaker instead is dangerous and illegal.
- Solar approval: GP&L caps residential solar at 10 kW AC, requires a City of Garland building permit, at least $100,000 of liability insurance and a GP&L function test, and the system must stay off until GP&L grants permission to operate.
- Not published by Garland Power & Light : a disconnect requirement for solar; whether meter collars are allowed; whether a supply-side tap needs approval . We confirm these with the utility in writing before the job rather than assume another utility’s rule applies. Sources: GP&L: Solar/Photovoltaic Installations ; GP&L Specifications for Electric Service (Blue Book), sections 4.11 and 4.12 ; GP&L: Generator Safety . Checked 2026-09-30 .



### Oncor Electric Delivery ( delivery utility )


- Disconnect: A visible, lockable, labeled AC disconnect is required between the Oncor meter and every source of distributed generation, within 10 feet of the meter unless special placards are used. Oncor states that molded-case breakers are not an acceptable disconnect.
- Meter socket: The meter socket is reserved for Oncor metering. No meter collars or other devices may be installed in it or between the meter and the socket.
- Generator and transfer switch: The generator transfer switch must be installed on the load side of the meter base, never integrated with or in series with the meter. Oncor asks installers to confirm whether the transfer switch is open or closed transition.
- Solar approval: Solar needs an Oncor interconnection application, and Oncor treats a system as certified when it meets UL 1741 and the applicable parts of IEEE 1547. Sources: Oncor Electric Service Guidelines (February 2025), sections 100.01.18, 500.06 and 700 ; Oncor Residential/Small Commercial Project Requirements (May 2025) . Checked 2026-09-30 .
