Who Delivers Electricity in 78046
AEP Texas Central
Your delivery utility (TDSP)
AEP Texas Central delivers electricity to South Texas, including coastal and border communities.
In Texas, the company you pay for electricity (your retail provider) is separate from the company that delivers it. AEP Central charges the same regulated delivery fees no matter which plan you choose, so the real competition is in the energy charge. TrueBill includes AEP Central delivery charges in every estimate on this page.
See AEP Central delivery charges and service-area details →How TrueBill Estimates Your Bill
Advertised rates are usually calculated at exactly 1,000 kWh, which may not match your home. TrueBill estimates each plan at the usage you enter:
- Priced at your usage: enter your monthly kWh, or use the 12-month calculator for a full-year estimate.
- Bill credits applied correctly: credits that only kick in above a usage threshold are factored into the estimate.
- Delivery charges included: AEP Central's regulated delivery fees are built into every number you see.
- No promotional reordering: plans are sorted by estimated cost, not by who pays us.
What to Check Before Picking a Plan in 78046
Some plans advertise a low rate that only holds if you use enough to earn a monthly credit, often 1,000 kWh or more. Use less and your effective rate jumps.
Some plans charge different rates at different usage levels, so the advertised rate may only apply in a narrow band. Check the estimate at your own usage.
Free hours are paired with higher daytime rates. Unless a large share of your usage falls in the free window, you can end up paying more overall.
A low per-kWh rate can hide a fixed monthly charge or a fee for using too little. Estimates on this page include these fixed charges.
