Fixed Rate Electric Plans in McAllen, TX
McAllen, in Hidalgo County, is served by AEP Texas Central.
How availability works in McAllen
Retail plans in Texas are sold per delivery utility, not per city. That is why this site asks for a ZIP code rather than a city name: two addresses a few miles apart can sit in different delivery areas and be offered different plans at different prices.
McAllen addresses are generally served by AEP Texas Central, but a city boundary and a utility boundary are not the same line, and the edges of any metro are where they disagree. Your own ZIP is the only reliable answer.
The figures below are live inventory sampled at one McAllen postal code. They show what this marketplace genuinely carries in that area — not every plan sold there, and not a quote for your address.
Electricity in McAllen
Hidalgo County · Texas
McAllen is AEP Texas Central territory and the commercial anchor of the Rio Grande Valley, sharing a delivery utility with Edinburg, Mission and Harlingen. Those four are effectively one shopping market.
The Valley has the mildest winters and among the hottest summers in the state, so annual electricity usage is unusually cooling-dominated. A household here may run well above the 1,000 kWh benchmark for eight or nine months of the year, which makes the annual projection a far better comparison than any advertised monthly rate.
One important boundary: Brownsville, at the eastern end of the Valley, is served by a city-owned utility and its residents do not shop for a retail provider. The rest of the Valley does.
