What a 12-month plan means on an AEP Texas Central bill
A 12-month plan is a one-year contract with a retail provider. A fixed-rate 12-month plan holds the provider's energy price for the year, while AEP Texas Central's regulated delivery charge passes through at whatever its current tariff sets, so the bill still moves with usage, credits and tariff changes. Leaving early can cost the fee stated on the plan's EFL; see early termination fees.
Of the 26 plans on this list, 3 carry a usage-based bill credit and 0 a minimum-usage fee. AEP Texas Central's delivery charge adds $60.24 to every one of them at 1,000 kWh, whichever provider you choose.
