AEP Texas North delivery charges

AEP Texas North reported 158,488 residential customers in 2025. It delivers electricity over its lines and does not sell it, so there is no single bundled price. EIA records the delivery revenue it collects: 5.86 cents per kWh, or $57.47 a month at 981 kWh. The retail provider you choose adds the energy charge and its own fees.

Delivery company versus retail provider

In the competitive parts of Texas, the delivery company (also called a transmission and distribution utility) owns the poles and wires, reads the meter and restores power after an outage. You cannot switch away from it. You can switch the retail provider that sells you the energy. See how Texas electricity choice works.
