AEP Texas North Fixed Rate Electric Plans
Covers parts of West and North-Central Texas, including the Abilene area.
What AEP Texas North does, and does not, decide
AEP Texas North is a delivery utility. It owns the poles, wires and meter at your address, reads your usage, and restores your power after an outage. It is not who you buy electricity from, and you cannot switch away from it — it is set by where you live.
What it does decide is which retail plans are offered to you at all, and what the delivery portion of your bill costs. Two identical-looking plans in different delivery areas are genuinely different products.
Switching retailer never changes your delivery utility, never involves work at your home, and never interrupts your service. AEP Texas North keeps doing exactly what it does now.

About 70% of Texas by land sits outside all five — cooperatives, city-owned utilities like Austin Energy and CPS Energy, and areas outside the competitive market. Households there cannot shop for a plan at all. Only 9 of the 254 Texas counties sit wholly inside one delivery utility, which is why this is a map and not a list.
These delivery areas are approximate and are based on the Public Utility Commission of Texas map of transmission and distribution utilities in competitive retail areas published in 2009. Boundaries have changed since then, so the map is for general orientation rather than determining service at a specific address. Areas shown in neutral include cooperatives, city-owned utilities and other locations outside the competitive retail market. Use the ZIP search to identify the applicable electricity market. If a ZIP can correspond to more than one delivery territory, the site asks for clarification rather than guessing. How this map was made, and what it cannot tell you.
