Direct answer

South and West Texas laundromats in AEP Texas Central or North division territory shop PUCT-certified REPs on Power to Choose Texas while AEP Texas continues as the TDU for delivery in Corpus Christi, Laredo, Abilene, and surrounding areas.

Q & A

Which AEP Texas division serves my laundromat?
AEP Texas publishes separate Central and North division maps and tariff schedules. Your ESID and service address determine which TDSP rate table applies on your REP bill.
Can AEP Texas recommend a REP for my store?
No. As the TDU, AEP Texas cannot sell competitive supply. Compare PUCT-certified REPs on Power to Choose Texas using your ESID and estimated kWh load.
Who handles outages in Corpus Christi or Laredo?
AEP Texas maintains lines, meters, and outage response in its TDU territory. Switching REPs changes who bills energy, not who restores service after a storm.
