Alice utility company

Regardless of which provider you choose, your electricity will be delivered by your local utility company. Utility companies also maintain power lines and other electrical infrastructure and respond to outages. You can’t select your utility; instead, it’s assigned by where you live. AEP Texas Central is Alice’s utility company.

If you’re experiencing a power outage in Alice, be sure to report it to AEP — not your electricity provider. You can do this by:

• Calling AEP at 1-866-223-8508
• Reporting it through the utility’s online outage portal

Types of Alice electric plans

Energy companies in Alice offer multiple plan types, depending on your individual electricity needs. Here’s a quick look at three of the most common options:

• Fixed-rate plans: This type of plan includes a fixed electricity rate that won’t change during your contract period. Generally, contracts last between one and three years. While you won’t be susceptible to rate hikes (even when demand increases), you’ll usually pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel while your contract is still active. This type of plan is great for homeowners looking for predictable rates that can be budged into their monthly expenses.
• Variable-rate plans: A variable-rate plan is a month-to-month agreement that doesn’t come with a contract or set electricity rate. Instead, the rate varies depending on wholesale energy costs. This means you could pay more when demand is high, but you could get a price break when demand drops. You’re free to cancel or switch providers whenever you’d like without paying an ETF. If you’re a short-term renter looking for flexibility, this could be the right type of plan for you.
• No-deposit plans: As part of the sign-up process, most Alice electricity providers will run a credit check. If your score isn’t up to their standards, you may need to provide a security deposit. But by opting for a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan, you won’t have to pay a deposit or undergo a credit check. With a prepaid plan, you’ll pay for your energy in advance and top up your account as needed.

Understanding Alice electric rates

Energy rates vary throughout Texas, primarily due to each local utility company’s transmission fees and local taxes. Because of this, your rate in Alice could be different from someone else’s in a different city, even if you share the same plan and provider.

Green energy plans in Alice

Texas is a national leader in green energy production, generating the most wind power out of any state. It’s also the second-biggest producer of solar energy. As a result, Alice residents can choose from many different renewable energy plans to power their homes.

Thanks to the Lone Star State’s significant investment in green energy, each energy plan sold in Texas contains at least a small portion of power from renewable sources. The exact percentage can be found on the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL). To find your plan’s EFL on Choose Texas Power, click “more details” on your plan’s page, then navigate to the “Plan Documents” tab, where you’ll find the “Access the EFL” link. There you’ll find all your plan details.

Some providers, including Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy, take green energy even further. These companies specialize in renewable power and exclusively sell 100% green electricity plans in Alice. By entering your ZIP code on Choose Texas Power, you can view renewable electricity rates from these providers (and others).

How can I lower my electricity bill in Alice?

You can make small changes — like replacing HVAC filters, installing LED light bulbs, and washing your laundry in cold water — to lower your energy consumption (and your bill). However, you don’t necessarily have to use less energy to reduce your electricity bill. In some cases, spending less on power is as simple as switching plans to lock in a cheaper rate.

How does weather affect energy rates?

Energy rates tend to rise and fall with demand. For example, in summer and winter, there’s an increased need for electricity as more people rely on their HVAC systems to stay cool or warm. As a result, energy prices typically increase. But when temperatures aren’t as extreme (for instance, in spring and fall), electricity rates are generally lower due to decreased demand. We recommend shopping for a new plan during these times of lower demand to get the best rates.
