Compare Power is licensed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas.

Learn how we rate and compare plans

Understanding the rates above

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.

Watch for bill credit thresholds

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AEP Texas Central?

AEP Texas Central Company is a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) that delivers electricity in South Texas, Corpus Christi area. As part of the ERCOT deregulated market, you can't choose your utility, but you can choose any electricity provider that serves the AEP Texas Central area.

Will switching providers affect my service reliability?

No. AEP Texas Central continues to deliver electricity and respond to outages regardless of which provider you choose. Switching only changes who you pay for electricity generation, not the reliability of your service.

How long does it take to switch?

Typically 1-2 billing cycles (2-4 weeks). Your new provider handles the entire switch process—you don't need to contact your current provider or AEP Texas Central. There's no service interruption during the transition. Review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before switching.

How do I report an outage?

Contact AEP Texas Central directly at 1-866-223-8508 or visit aeptexas.com. Your utility company handles all outage reporting and restoration, regardless of your electricity provider.

What happens when my electricity contract expires?

Your provider moves you to a month-to-month variable rate, typically 30-50% higher than your fixed rate. Texas providers must send a 30-day notice before expiration. If you've received that notice, compare plans now to lock in a new rate before the switch happens automatically.
