Sean Reddy explains Encore's role in Grand Prairie's energy delivery

During the recent Grand Prairie City Council meeting, significant insights were shared regarding local energy management and community support. Sean Reddy, the area manager for Encore, introduced himself to the council, emphasizing his role as a liaison between the company and the cities it serves, including Grand Prairie.

Reddy explained that Encore operates as a transmission and distribution company, clarifying a common misconception: Encore does not sell electricity but rather delivers it. He likened Encore's function to that of a delivery service, stating, "We pick up the package and drop it to the house." This distinction is crucial in understanding how energy services operate in Texas, particularly in a deregulated market where Encore owns the infrastructure but does not generate power.

The discussion highlighted the importance of direct communication between the city and Encore, with Reddy encouraging council members to reach out with any questions or concerns. His commitment to addressing issues promptly aims to enhance the efficiency of energy delivery and customer service in the community.

This meeting underscored the ongoing collaboration between local government and utility providers, ensuring that residents of Grand Prairie receive reliable energy services while fostering a better understanding of how these systems function. As the city continues to grow, maintaining open lines of communication with service providers like Encore will be essential for addressing the needs of the community effectively.
