Abilene electricity rates

Abilene is one of the many cities in Texas featuring a deregulated energy market. Residents and businesses in Abilene have the power to choose their energy plans and rates from a range of competitive providers. 

The Choose Texas Power marketplace allows you to explore rates from electric companies in Abilene, TX. We work with the best power companies in Abilene to help you find the right plan to fit your energy needs and budget.

Power to choose Abilene

In a traditional energy market, you’re required to purchase electricity from a local utility company, but not all locations have a traditional market. If your area has energy deregulation, local energy providers compete to offer you the most competitive rates on the market. Since Abilene is in a deregulated area, you have the power to choose your provider and electricity rates.

Abilene electric companies

Deregulation gives you the ability to choose your electric providers in Abilene, TX. Top energy providers in Abilene include TXU Energy, Constellation Energy, and 4Change Energy. You can use the Choose Texas Power marketplace to compare plans and rates from these providers and many more.

While you can choose your energy company, you cannot select your utility company — it’s determined by where you live. The utility company that serves Abilene residents is AEP Texas North. Your utility company delivers electricity to your home and maintains the electrical infrastructure. If you experience a power outage or need to report a downed power line in Abilene, you should contact AEP Texas — not your energy provider.

Types of Abilene electric plans

Abilene has several plans on the Choose Texas Power marketplace. Some of the most common types of plans are:

• Fixed-rate plans: If you want to secure a stable rate for the next 12 to 36 months, a fixed-rate plan could be the best option. With this type of plan, you pay the same rate for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy you use for the duration of your contract. If you need to switch energy plans before your contract expires, you’ll be charged an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: If you’d rather avoid a contract, you can choose a variable-rate plan. However, with this type of plan, the price you pay each month rises and falls depending on fluctuations in the energy market. During times of high demand (like in the summer months), you will likely receive a high energy bill. In times of low demand (in the spring, for example), you may have lower energy bills.
• No-deposit plans: Energy providers often require a credit check before activation. If your credit score does not meet a certain threshold, you may have to pay a deposit to begin service. You can sign up for a no-deposit electricity plan to avoid a deposit. Prepaid plans are the most common no-deposit option, letting you pay in advance for your service without a credit check.
