In Beeville, the company on your electric bill is yours to pick, because the city sits in a part of Texas with retail electricity choice. AEP Texas Central runs the local lines and meters and delivers power to Beeville addresses whichever retail provider you sign with. What changes from one provider to the next is the price, the contract and the fine print.
Our rates table below loads live prices for the AEP Texas Central area. After it, you'll find this month's Beeville price picture, a plain-English look at the bill-credit plans that fill the table, and the checks to run on each plan's Electricity Facts Label (EFL), the official document that spells out a plan's prices and terms. Prices here were checked November 4, 2026, and the page is updated monthly.

Here's the Beeville snapshot as of November 4, 2026. Prices are the average cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh), the unit on your meter, at 1,000 kWh a month unless noted, and they include AEP Texas Central's delivery charges.
Plans in our Beeville rates table ran from 7.0¢ to 11.9¢ per kWh.
Power to Choose, the state's official plan-comparison site, listed 166 plans from 41 providers in the AEP Texas Central service area, which includes Beeville.
On Power to Choose, standard fixed-rate plans (leaving out prepaid and time-of-use plans) ran from 5.7¢ to 15.0¢, half of them cost 11.9¢ or less, and the median 12-month plan was 11.4¢.
The lowest 1,000 kWh prices belong to bill-credit plans that cost far more at 500 kWh: 19.7¢ to 20.2¢ in our table, and 18.3¢ to 25.0¢ on Power to Choose.
On Power to Choose, the cheapest 12-month plans with no bill credit held between about 10.9¢ and 11.5¢ at every usage level.
AEP Texas Central's delivery charges were $3.24 a month plus 5.6898¢ per kWh on an EFL dated October 4, 2026, which comes to $60.14 a month at 1,000 kWh before the energy itself.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported an average Texas residential price of 15.91¢ per kWh for August 2026, a preliminary number.
What this means for you: every plan in our Beeville table this month relies on a usage credit, so the right choice comes down to whether your home clears 1,000 kWh month after month.
Frontier Utilities holds the two lowest 1,000 kWh prices in our Beeville table. Frontier Saver Plus 12 shows 19.8¢ at 500 kWh, 7.0¢ at 1,000 kWh and 13.1¢ at 2,000 kWh, and Frontier Saver Plus 24 shows 20.2¢, 7.4¢ and 13.5¢. Frontier says both plans earn up to $1,500 in usage credits a year.
Reliant Energy's Power Savings 12 follows the same shape at 19.7¢, 11.9¢ and 15.4¢. Its EFL, dated September 30, 2026, includes a $75.00 usage credit in each billing cycle when you use 1,000 kWh or more, and none in a cycle below that.
The gap between the 500 and 1,000 kWh columns is the credit at work. In a month when your home hits the credit threshold, these plans can be the cheapest way to power a Beeville home. In a month that falls short, the credit disappears and the bill jumps. Check Frontier's EFL for the usage its credits require before you enroll; our guide to reading an Electricity Facts Label shows where to look.
A simple test: pull up your last 12 months of usage. If every month sits at or above 1,000 kWh, a credit plan is worth a close look. If a few spring, fall or winter months drop below it, a plan without a credit is often cheaper over the year.
The best yardstick is the price at the usage your home really has, not the 1,000 kWh number in the ad. Every EFL lists averages at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, so line up the column closest to your bill.
Based on what Power to Choose listed on November 4, a 12-month fixed plan at about 11.5¢ per kWh or less at your usage is a good deal in Beeville.
A 16¢ rate is above the EIA's 15.91¢ Texas average and above the most expensive standard fixed-rate plan Power to Choose listed for the area, which was 15.0¢ at 1,000 kWh, so it's time to shop.
If your fixed term ended without a new plan, you're likely on a variable rate. On Power to Choose, variable plans in the AEP Texas Central area ranged from 8.6¢ to 17.6¢ at 1,000 kWh, and moving off one costs nothing.
You can find your real usage in a couple of minutes. Smart Meter Texas, the state-run portal for smart-meter readings, shows your history at no cost, and your past bills list monthly kWh too. For context, the EIA puts the average Texas home at 1,096 kWh a month in 2024, and summer air conditioning lifts most homes above that.
Four things drive most high bills in Beeville.
Summer cooling: air conditioning runs hard through the hottest months, and usage can climb well beyond what you see in spring or fall. Compare plans at your summer usage as well as at 1,000 kWh.
Delivery charges: AEP Texas Central charges $3.24 a month plus 5.6898¢ per kWh to maintain the lines and meters, and every provider passes that on. A 1,000 kWh month carries $60.14 in delivery before any energy. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) oversees these charges and posts the current delivery rates for each Texas utility.
A missed credit: on a bill-credit plan, a month just under the threshold can cost far more than the month before, even though your usage barely changed.
An expired contract: when a fixed plan ends and you don't pick another, you roll onto a variable rate that can change every billing cycle.
The cure is the same for most of them: know your usage, choose a plan that fits it, and set a reminder before your contract ends.
Your bill comes from your retail electric provider (REP), the company you choose to buy power from. AEP Texas Central is the transmission and distribution utility (TDU): it owns the poles and wires, reads your smart meter and restores service after storms. All REPs in Beeville share that same network, so a new provider never changes your reliability.
For outages and downed lines, contact AEP Texas, not your provider. The AEP Texas Customer Operations Center answers 24 hours a day at 866-223-8508, and you can also report problems on the AEP Texas outage page. Our guide to TDU delivery charges covers what AEP Texas Central charges for.
The best electric company for one Beeville home can be the wrong one for the next. Here's how the plans in our table line up, with average prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, checked November 4, 2026.
Usage at or above 1,000 kWh every month: Frontier Saver Plus 12 (19.8¢, 7.0¢, 13.1¢) has the lowest 1,000 kWh price in our table, with up to $1,500 in usage credits a year.
A two-year lock-in: Frontier Saver Plus 24 (20.2¢, 7.4¢, 13.5¢) holds its price for 24 months. Its early termination fee (ETF), the charge for leaving a contract early, is $200, compared with $150 on the 12-month version.
A Reliant plan: Power Savings 12 (19.7¢, 11.9¢, 15.4¢) pays a $75.00 credit in cycles of 1,000 kWh or more and has a $150 ETF.
No bill credit: every plan in our Beeville table this month uses a usage credit. To avoid one, Power to Choose listed 12-month plans without a credit from about 10.9¢ to 11.5¢ at any usage.
Renewable power: none of the plans in our Beeville table is 100% renewable. Power to Choose listed 41 fully renewable plans for the area on November 4, and our reviews of Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy cover two renewable-focused providers.
Prepaid or no deposit: our table has no prepaid plans either. On Power to Choose, prepaid plans in the area cost 15.9¢ to 17.6¢ at 1,000 kWh.
Before you decide, compare at least three plans at your actual usage and open each EFL on the day you sign. Our list of Texas electricity providers is a good next stop.
A fixed-rate plan keeps your energy price the same for the length of the contract, often 12, 24 or 36 months, so a summer price spike can't reach you. The plans in our Beeville table run 12 or 24 months, with ETFs of $150 or $200. Delivery charges can still move during a contract, since the PUCT approves them and your provider doesn't control them. More fixed-rate electricity plans are worth a look.
A variable plan has no contract, so you can leave whenever you like, but the price can change from one bill to the next. On Power to Choose on November 4, variable plans in the AEP Texas Central area ran from 8.6¢ to 17.6¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh. They're best kept for short stays.
Prepaid plans let you buy power ahead of time, get usage alerts and top up as you go, with no deposit and no credit check. There are none in our Beeville table this month. On Power to Choose, prepaid plans in the area cost 15.9¢ to 17.6¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh. Our no-deposit electricity guide lays out the options.
Renewable plans are backed by renewable energy credits, often from Texas wind and solar farms. On Power to Choose, 41 of the 166 plans in the AEP Texas Central area were 100% renewable on November 4. Explore green energy plans and read the renewable content line on each EFL.
Time-of-use plans charge less during set hours, such as nights or weekends, which can help if you charge an electric vehicle. Power to Choose listed nine for the area this month. If you have rooftop solar, a solar buyback plan credits you for the power you send to the grid, and terms vary widely, so compare the buyback rate, any monthly fees and what happens to unused credits.
The switch itself is quick, and there's no gap in service.
Look up your ESI ID (Electric Service Identifier) on a recent bill. It's the number tied to your meter.
Compare plans at your real usage, then sign up with your service address.
Choose a start date. Your new provider coordinates the change with AEP Texas Central, so no one has to come out to your home.
If you're still under contract, check the end date. PUCT rules mean no early termination fee when your switch takes place no earlier than 14 days before the expiration date on your renewal notice, and providers have to send that notice at least 30 days ahead. The PUCT electricity FAQ explains the rule.
