This plan's 3-month term would run roughly September to November 2026, an estimated $362 over that window. Your rate isn't locked past then. The yearly cost figure annualizes the rate so plans of different lengths compare directly; after the term you would re-shop or move to a month-to-month rate.

Kilowise read this plan's own Fact Sheet formula as an all-in $3.24/month fixed charge (REP base charge plus TDU delivery, combined) plus 10.727¢/kWh (REP energy charge plus TDU delivery, combined), the same formula behind the estimate above. It has no usage-threshold credits, so no bill-credit cliff.

Among the 146 fixed-rate AEP Texas Central plans available right now, this one's rate is in the cheapest quarter. Compared at each plan's price across a range of household usage, not at one point a bill credit could be tuned around.
