As a Kingsville local, you’ll have both a utility company and an electricity provider. Your utility delivers electricity and maintains electrical infrastructure, which involves responding to power outages and fixing downed power lines. You won’t need to pick your utility company because it’s determined by where you live — and in Kingsville, the utility is AEP Texas Central.

On the other hand, you’ll have your choice of energy companies in Kingsville. There are many to consider, including 4Change Energy, Cirro Energy, Frontier Utilities, and TXU Energy. Electricity providers sell plans to consumers, handle billing, track energy usage, and manage other customer account details.

Power outages in Kingsville

If you’re experiencing a power outage in Kingsville, be sure to contact AEP Texas Central (not your electricity company). You can reach the utility by:

• Going to the online outage center
• Calling 1-866-223-8508

Before you start exploring electricity plans in Kingsville, it helps to understand the differences between the most common plan types. Here’s a brief overview:

• Fixed-rate plans: This type of plan lets you lock in your electricity rate for a set contract period (usually 12, 24, or 36 months). During that time, you won’t be affected by price hikes in the energy market, which is ideal if you want a predictable rate you can budget into your monthly expenses. But if you decide to change providers or cancel your plan before the term expires, you’ll likely face an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: If you’re on a variable-rate plan, your energy rate can fluctuate from month to month, depending on the wholesale price of power. This may be the type of plan for you if you’re a short-term renter. In addition, you won’t be locked into a contract, so you can switch electricity companies at any time without paying an ETF.
• Prepaid and no-deposit plans: When signing up for a plan, many Kingsville electricity providers will ask for a deposit. To get around that requirement, you can choose a prepaid electricity plan. This type of no-deposit plan lets you pay upfront for your expected energy usage. Then, you can reload your account when it gets low.

When is the best time to shop for a Kingsville energy plan?

In Texas, energy demand tends to dip in spring and fall. That’s because temperatures are more moderate during these months, so there’s less need to run HVAC systems. When demand is lower, prices are typically lower, too. By shopping for electricity plans during these months, you may be able to lock in a lower rate.
