Corpus Christi electricity providers & utility companies
In a deregulated market, it’s critical to understand the difference between your utility company and energy provider. The utility company depends on your location — you can’t choose it. Your utility delivers your electricity, maintains the local electric infrastructure, and fixes power outages. In Corpus Christi, your utility company is AEP Texas Central.
Corpus Christi electricity providers, meanwhile, sell electricity to residents and businesses. Unlike your assigned utility, energy deregulation gives Corpus Christi residents the opportunity to shop for their own electricity provider. You can choose one of the many Corpus Christi providers, including 4Change Energy, Frontier Utilities, and Express Energy. Enter your ZIP code to explore available Corpus Christi electricity rates and plans from the best electric companies near you.

Types of electricity plans in Corpus Christi
When you sign up for your Corpus Christi energy plan, you’ll have plenty of options. Here are some of the different types of energy plans you can choose from:
- Fixed-rate plan: A fixed-rate energy plan allows you to lock in your rate, meaning you’re not vulnerable to price hikes when energy demand is high. However, you’re locked into a contract and will incur a fee if you end your plan early.
- Variable-rate plan: A variable-rate plan doesn’t allow you to lock in your rate, meaning it can fluctuate each month. However, you can walk away at any time because you’re not locked into a contract.
- Prepaid and no-deposit plans: A prepaid energy plan allows customers to pay for their electricity upfront rather than entering a contract. A prepaid plan is a type of no-deposit plan, meaning you aren’t subject to deposits or credit checks.
