Your power to choose electricity in Edinburg
When you live in a deregulated part of Texas (like Edinburg), you have the ability to pick your own energy provider, known as the “power to choose.” Deregulation gives you more control over your electricity costs. It also means you don’t have to buy power from your local utility company like you would in a traditional energy market.

Edinburg utility companies and energy providers
Although you don’t purchase electricity from your utility company in Edinburg, it will still deliver energy to your home. Utilities also respond to power outages and maintain electrical infrastructure within their service area. Unlike your light company, you won’t pick your utility; instead, it’s designated by your location. In Edinburg, the assigned utility is AEP Texas.
However, thanks to deregulation, you can choose from a number of energy companies in Edinburg. Some popular options include Cirro Energy, Express Energy, Reliant Energy, and TXU Energy. Your energy provider will manage your account, track your usage, and handle all billing-related matters.
Power outages in Edinburg
If you lose power in Edinburg, you’ll need to call AEP Texas to restore it and report the outage. Make sure not to call your electricity company, as they won’t be able to help with an outage. You can contact AEP Texas by:
- Calling 1-866-223-8508
- Visiting the utility’s online outage center
Types of electricity plans in Edinburg
As you shop for the best energy plan in Edinburg, you’ll have the choice of several plan types. Here’s an overview of how each plan works:
- Fixed-rate plans: If you’re on a fixed-rate plan, you’ll pay the same price for electricity — regardless of demand, season, or market fluctuations. To get this consistent rate, you’ll need to enter into a contract with your provider (which typically lasts 12, 24, or 36 months). You’ll usually be charged an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel or change electricity companies before your contract finishes.
- Variable-rate plans: With a variable-rate plan, your rate will increase or decrease in line with wholesale energy prices. Because of this, you could end up with a higher bill when demand increases (and vice versa). However, you won’t need to sign a contract, so you’re free to cancel at any time.
- Prepaid and no-deposit plans: Most Edinburg electricity providers require a credit check as part of the sign-up process. They may charge a deposit if your credit score falls below their expectations. To avoid the deposit, you can opt for a prepaid plan, which is one example of a no-deposit plan. With this plan type, you’ll pay in advance for your electricity and can add more funds to your account when it’s low.
