About Garland
After 1923 Garland had power -- literally. This inner suburb northeast of Dallas entered the electric and water utility business with what would eventually become Garland Power & Light. GP&L has now expanded to include two new plants, C.E. Newman and Ray Olinger, and combined they produce 430 megawatts of generating capacity. With more than 62,000 customers, Garland Power & Light has grown to become the third largest municipal electric system in the State of Texas and the thirty-ninth largest in the nation. Not a bad feat for a city that's considered a suburb and just one of the many great things this major part of the Dallas/ Fort Worth Metroplex has to offer.
