Energy providers and utility companies in Corpus Christi

When you shop for energy plans, you need to know the difference between electricity providers and utility companies. In deregulated parts of Texas, you’ll buy an energy plan from an electricity provider (also referred to as a retail electric provider or REP). However, your utility is the company that will deliver the power to your home.

• The local utility in Corpus Christi: Your utility is American Electric Power (AEP). You do not select your utility because it is assigned based on where you live.
• Electricity providers in Corpus Christi: You have many options when it comes to Corpus Christi electricity providers, including trusted brands like Cirro Energy, Constellation Energy, First Choice Power, and TXU Energy. 

Power outages in Corpus Christi

Are you having a power outage in Corpus Christi? If so, you’ll need to reach out to your utility company, not your electricity provider.

Electricity rates in my area

When you’re in the market for a new electricity plan, you need to narrow down the search results to your city. That’s because plans are priced differently across Texas (even from the same provider) since each utility includes its own particular transmission charges.

With that in mind, how do you find the best electricity rates in Corpus Christi? Instead of using a search engine to find the “best electric company near me” or “electricity rates in my area,” it’s much more efficient to use a free marketplace like SaveOnEnergy.

How weather affects Corpus Christi electricity rates

Corpus Christi usually has hot summers, with average temperatures of 90 in July and high 80s in other summer months. The city also experiences a lot of humidity thanks to being near the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, it won’t come as a surprise that energy usage is high during the summer. But the city has mild winters, meaning energy usage is lower.

When energy demand is high, rates tend to spike. When demand is low, rates are also lower. Those with variable-rate plans will see their rates fluctuate with the market rate. But if you have a fixed-rate plan, you can save on energy costs by locking in a lower rate when demand is low.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup

• Don’t forget to read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
  • Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
  • % renewable energy sourcing
  • Early termination fees
• Enjoy hassle-free supplier setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
• Understanding your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.

Types of plans in Corpus Christi

From variable-rate to fixed-rate to no-deposit, there are several energy plan types to consider. Below, find a breakdown of some of the most popular plan types to help you choose the right one. You can also look at our guide to picking a plan or call us at the phone number on the screen for more information.

Fixed-rate plans in Corpus Christi

If you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, you’ll enter into a contract with your provider (generally lasting 12 months or more). Your rate won’t change during this time, which is a perk if you’re looking for a more predictable energy bill. However, you’ll need to be comfortable with signing a contract with your REP and paying a fee if you end your contract early.

Variable-rate plans in Corpus Christi

Not interested in signing a contract? You could consider a variable-rate plan, which allows you to get electricity service on a month-to-month basis. However, it’s important to mention that your bills could vary quite a bit since your rate isn’t locked in. During times of high demand, your energy rate will likely increase.

Green electricity in Corpus Christi

If you’re interested in green energy plans, Corpus Christi is an excellent place to be. Texas is one of the leading producers of wind and solar energy in the country, giving you many options for renewable plans.

As a result, all Texas electricity plans contain at least a portion of renewable energy. The specific percentage of renewable energy is found on your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Some Corpus Christi providers specialize in green energy plans, such as Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy.
