AEP Texas Central is Del Rio’s utility

While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore service during power outages. The utility company for Del Rio is AEP Texas Central. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact AEP Central:

Texas utility companies collect a fee for delivering electricity called a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) charge. AEP Central’s TDU charge includes a monthly charge of $3.24 and a usage charge of 5.9¢/kWh.

Types of Del Rio electric plans

As you’re shopping, you’ll notice a few different plan types. Each option works a little differently, so understanding the basics of electricity plans in Del Rio can help you choose the best fit for your home and energy usage.

  • Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan keeps your electricity rate the same for the full length of your contract, typically 12 to 36 months. Your rate stays the same during that time, which makes it easier to plan your monthly costs.
  • Variable-rate plans: A variable-rate plan does not lock in your rate, so the price can change month to month based on market conditions. These plans offer flexibility without a long-term contract, but your rate can increase suddenly during periods of high demand.
  • No-deposit plans: Some Del Rio electricity providers offer plans that don’t require a deposit based on your credit score. These no-deposit options, such as prepaid energy plans, can help you start service without paying an upfront fee.
  • Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.

Understanding Del Rio electric rates

Your total monthly energy bill is based on your energy usage, your plan’s rate, and your local utility’s delivery fees. Utility companies are responsible for delivering power to your home, and the delivery fees are included in your rate. Electricity rates in Del Rio can differ from those in other parts of Texas based on which utility serves the area. This means two homes on the same plan in different cities may pay different electricity rates.

Green energy plans

Texas is a leader in renewable energy production, especially for wind and solar power. Every energy plan in Texas includes a percentage of renewable power. You can check the exact amount by checking your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

If you choose a 100% renewable energy plan, your provider will match the amount of electricity you use with renewable energy credits (RECs). These credits represent energy produced from renewable sources and help offset the environmental impact of your electricity use. Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy are Del Rio electricity providers that offer 100% green energy plans.

Moving to a new address

Setting up electricity is an important step when you’re moving to a new home. If you’re moving to Del Rio from another deregulated area in Texas, ask your current provider if it can transfer your service. Some providers operate in multiple areas and may allow you to keep your current plan.

If your new address is outside your provider’s service area, you can enter your ZIP code on this page to compare the latest Del Rio electricity rates and set up service for your move-in date.

Switching energy providers

You can switch electricity providers if you want lower rates, different plan features, or better customer service. Before switching, review your current contract to check for an early termination fee (ETF). Many providers charge this fee if you cancel a plan before the contract ends, unless you’re moving outside of its service area.

Browse plan options on our marketplace and compare rates to what you currently pay to decide if switching providers could help you save on your monthly energy costs.
