McAllen electricity rates

ℹ Utility boundaries follow addresses, not city limits: some homes in or near McAllen are served by an electric co-op or a city utility where you cannot choose a provider. Check the utility (TDU/TDSP) printed on your bill or look up your ZIP code.

Most of McAllen is served by AEP Texas Central, which delivers the power and handles outages. You choose the retail provider and plan below; the delivery charge is the same whichever you pick.

Moving in Texas: how to plan your electricity for move-out and move-in

When you move in Texas, tell your current provider your move-out date and a forwarding address, and order service at the new home as a "move-in" a week or more ahead. Under PUCT rules your contract covers only the address in it, so you usually owe no early-termination fee for moving if you give a forwarding address and, if asked, reasonable proof of the move. Check whether the new address has a different utility or no retail choice at all before you shop.

Early termination fees on Texas electricity plans: how they work and when leaving pays

Most Texas fixed-rate plans of 12 months or more charge an early-termination fee, either a flat amount such as $150 or a set amount per remaining month such as $20. Leaving early pays only when what you save over the remaining months is larger than the fee, so multiply the monthly saving by the months left, adjusting for the season, and compare. Some cases carry no fee at all, such as moving or the last 14 days of the contract.
