How enrollment works
Clicking "Check Availability" takes you to Compare Power to complete enrollment. You can review your service address and contract terms before confirming.
Compare Power is licensed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Every plan listed includes an Electricity Facts Label (EFL) — a standardized disclosure required by the PUCT that shows your total rate at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh. The EFL includes both the energy charge from your provider and AEP Texas Central's delivery charges, so what you see is the true all-in cost.
Some plans include bill credits that only apply if you use a specific amount of electricity (often exactly 1,000 or 2,000 kWh). If your usage falls short, the credit disappears and your actual rate jumps. Check the EFL for any bill credit line items before enrolling.
The cheapest electricity rate in the AEP Texas Central service area is 8.1¢/kWh from 4Change Energy at 1,000 kWh monthly usage.
