AEP Texas Central serves South Texas, including Corpus Christi, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley. Its delivery charge is about $3.24 a month plus 5.69¢ per kWh, roughly $60.14 at 1,000 kWh. That's about 38% of a bill at the Texas average rate, and it's identical whichever provider you pick.

Providers can't mark delivery up, and it changes on March 1 and September 1 each year when the Public Utility Commission of Texas approves new rates.

Energy use in South Texas

The cooling season is the longest in the state, often from March through November. High year-round usage makes the per-kWh energy rate matter far more than any bill credit.

How to choose a plan in Victoria

Compare at your real usage. Plans are advertised at 1,000 kWh, but if your summer bills show 2,000 kWh, that's the price that matters.

Be careful with bill credits. A plan that's cheap at exactly 1,000 kWh can be expensive at 999 kWh or 1,500 kWh. Use the calculator above to check.

Prefer fixed rates. Variable plans can jump during heat waves and freezes. Check the contract length and early termination fee too.

Mark your contract end date. When a fixed plan ends, most providers move you to a pricier month-to-month rate.

Find your ESI ID

Your ESI ID identifies your meter. In AEP Texas Central territory it's 17 digits and starts with 1003278. It's printed on your bill near your service address.

Decode your ESI ID or check your current bill against the Texas average.
