What is AEP Texas North?
AEP Texas North is the transmission and distribution utility for a stretch of West Texas, including Abilene, and is a separate division from AEP Texas Central despite the shared parent company. AEP Texas North doesn't sell electricity itself: retail providers compete to sell you the electricity that runs over its wires.

How AEP Texas North delivery charges affect your bill
AEP Texas North's approved delivery tariff can include recurring monthly and usage-based charges. The retail provider collects those charges on the electricity bill, but changing retail providers does not remove them because the TDU is assigned to the address. Current amounts can change through the regulatory process, so confirm them in the plan's Electricity Facts Label. The complete rates above include applicable recurring AEP Texas North delivery charges at 1,000 kWh.
Our Texas delivery-charge guide explains the bill math and why the same retail plan name can have a different all-in price in another TDU territory.
AEP Texas North vs. a retail electricity provider
AEP Texas North owns and maintains the physical wires, poles, and meters, and handles outages: you don't get to shop for that part, it's assigned by where you live. What you do shop for is the retail electric provider (REP): the company that actually sells you the electricity and bills you for it. Every plan's price already has AEP Texas North's delivery charge baked in, so the prices above are what you'd really pay, not just the energy portion.
Delivery charges are just one piece of what can make an advertised rate misleading: see our guide to Texas electricity plan traps: bill credits, fees & gimmicks for the rest.
