McAllen is part of the deregulated Texas electricity market, so residents and businesses can choose their retail electric provider (REP). Your local transmission & distribution utility, AEP Texas Central, delivers the power and maintains the lines no matter which provider you pick — so switching providers never affects reliability, only your rate and plan terms.
Rates vary by plan type, contract length, and usage. Search your ZIP above to see current McAllen plans and rates pulled live, then compare fixed-rate and renewable options side by side.
Compare plans regularly — rates change often; check every 3–6 months.
Match the contract length to your situation — 12–24 month fixed plans usually offer the most stable rates.
Know your usage — plans are priced at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh tiers, so the "headline" rate may not match your bill.
Read the EFL — the Electricity Facts Label shows the all-in rate, fees, and terms.
Consider green energy — renewable plans are often priced competitively.
