Delivery utility vs. retail 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.
