AEP Central is Sandia’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 Sandia 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.
- Go to AEP Texas Central’s online outage portal.
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 Sandia electric plans
If you’re new to shopping for electricity in a deregulated area, the influx of options might be overwhelming. We’ve broken down the most common plan types to make the shopping process easier to digest:
- Fixed-rate plans: Having a fixed-rate plan means your rate will remain the same for the duration of your contract. The most common term lengths are 12, 24, and 36 months, but many providers offer additional options to meet unique needs. While you may be responsible for an early termination fee (ETF) if you choose to end your service early, fixed-rate plans are the best option if you value predictability and stability in your monthly bills.
- Variable-rate plans: A variable rate fluctuates with the energy market. In times of lower demand, you might experience savings, but higher-demand periods like hot summer months can lead your rate to spike. The main benefit of a variable-rate plan is the lack of a contract, meaning you have the flexibility to change plans at any time without penalty.
- No-deposit plans: Most providers run a credit check before allowing you to start service, and if your score doesn’t meet the requirement, you’ll likely have to pay an upfront deposit. If you want to avoid the credit check and deposit altogether, consider a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan, which allows you to pay upfront for electricity and top up your account as needed. Keep in mind that no-deposit rates are often higher than those of other plan types.
- Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan features rates that fluctuate with electricity demand. During low-demand periods, such as late at night, you can enjoy a discounted rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. You could experience savings with a TOU plan if you are comfortable shifting your usage to take advantage of lower rates during off-peak hours.
