AEP Texas is the transmission and distribution utility for a huge arc of South Texas — in our sampling it delivered electricity at every sampled address in Corpus Christi, Laredo and McAllen. Like the other wires companies in Texas's retail-choice market, AEP Texas isn't who you buy your plan from: it owns the poles, wires and meters and restores outages, while a retail electric provider you pick sets the rate. Part of American Electric Power, it also covers stretches of West Texas beyond our sampled cities.
