AEP Central is Edinburg’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 Edinburg 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:

• Call 1-866-223-8508.
• Report an outage online.

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 Edinburg electric plans

As you browse Choose Texas Power’s marketplace, you’ll likely come across a few different types of electricity plans in Edinburg. The most common types of energy plans are:

• Fixed-rate plans: Your rate stays the same for the length of your contract, which typically lasts between one and three years. Fixed-rate plans lock in your energy price per kWh, so you don’t have to worry about price fluctuations in the electricity market. However, your provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your service while you’re still under contract. These plans are ideal for long-term stability and predictability but are less flexible than other options.
• Variable-rate plans: With this type of plan, your monthly electricity rate can increase or decrease depending on the wholesale cost of energy. This can result in price spikes when demand is high, but it can also lead to savings when demand dips. Variable-rate plans don’t have contracts or ETFs, so you switch or cancel whenever you want, making these plans good for short-term renters or those who move frequently.
• No-deposit plans: It’s common for Edinburg electricity providers to run a credit check. Depending on the results, you may have to pay a deposit before the provider begins service. If you don’t want to undergo a credit check or pay a deposit, consider signing up for a prepaid plan (a popular type of no-deposit plan). With a prepaid plan, you’ll pay for electricity in advance, and your provider will notify you to refill your account when it runs low.
• 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 Edinburg electric rates

In Texas, transmission and delivery fees vary by utility. Because your utility company is assigned based on where you live, you could end up paying a different rate than someone in another area for the same plan. For this reason, it’s important to check for accurate Edinburg electricity rates in your area.

No matter which Texas energy plan you pick, it will contain at least a small percentage of green energy. If green energy is a top priority for you, some plans — like those from Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy — are 100% renewable. You can learn more about a plan’s renewable content mix by checking its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
