AEP Central: Pharr’s utility company

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 Pharr 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 6.0000 cents/kWh.

Types of Pharr electric plans

There are several types of electricity plans in Pharr, each with its own benefits and potential drawbacks. You can make your search easier by understanding the different plans available on the Choose Texas Power marketplace.

  • Fixed-rate plans: If you like predictability, a fixed-rate plan offers a set monthly rate. You’ll keep this rate for the duration of your contract, typically anywhere between 12 and 36 months. Fixed-rate plans are best for consumers who want protection from changes in the energy market. However, they typically charge fees if you cancel service before the contract ends.
  • Variable-rate plans: With this type of plan, your rate is subject to change each month. Variable rates follow the market price of electricity, which often fluctuates due to weather and other macro factors. You might find a competitive price when you sign up, but it can go up at any time, particularly when energy demand is high. The main benefit is the ability to cancel your service anytime without paying a penalty.
  • No-deposit plans: Your Pharr energy provider may require a deposit to start your electricity service. However, some providers offer plans structured without a credit check or deposit. These no-deposit plans, also known as prepaid energy plans, allow you to pay for your energy usage in advance.
  • 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.
