AEP Central: Corpus Christi’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 Corpus Christi 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 Corpus Christi electric plans

As you shop for electricity plans in Corpus Christi, you may not understand all the different available plan types. Here’s a breakdown of the main options:

  • Fixed-rate plans: You’ll secure a stable energy rate for the full term length. Terms range from one to three years, allowing you to budget for the long term. However, if you need to cancel before your contract expires, you might pay an early termination fee (ETF).
  • Variable-rate plans: Your energy rate changes monthly based on energy load demand, climate, and other factors. This plan type gives you the flexibility to switch electric companies in Corpus Christi. Because there are no contracts, you don’t pay a fee to switch.
  • No-deposit plans: Many light companies in Corpus Christi check your credit when you request service to determine if you qualify to skip the deposit. If you don’t want to pay the deposit, consider no-deposit plans, such as a prepaid plan. You’ll pay for service beforehand and reload your account as needed.
  • Renewable energy plans: Green energy options offset your usage with renewable sources, like wind or solar power. Every Texas energy plan includes a percentage of green energy, and some providers (like Gexa Energy) offer 100% renewable options.
  • 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.
