Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Mission

AEP Central owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Mission. Whichever plan you pick, AEP Central still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires. Every price on this page already includes AEP Central delivery charges. If a rate elsewhere looks lower, check whether delivery is in it yet.

Quick answers

Mission electricity questions, answered

As of August 2026, plans we offer in the AEP Central territory average 15.2¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly use, and today’s lowest effective rate is 7.0¢. Advertised rates move with your usage, so price plans at your own numbers.

AEP Central is Mission’s transmission and delivery utility. It owns the wires and meters and restores outages. You choose your retail electricity provider; AEP Central delivers no matter who you pick.

Yes — most Mission addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Mission today is 7.0¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

We currently price 123 plans in Mission, every one from a PUCT-licensed provider we work with, priced with delivery included.

You have the power to choose your home’s electric provider in Mission.

Compare Power started assisting residents in Mission in their search for affordable electricity rates in 2009.

The rates published by Compare Power are the same as those quoted by energy companies on their websites.

Standardized search results allow Mission residents like you to compare plans quickly without advertising tricks and hidden fees.

Instantly compare competing Mission electricity companies

Texas deregulated its energy industry in 2002. Since deregulation, consumers in Mission have been able to select their electricity providers rather than rely on a single provider.

The de-monopolized energy industry in Texas is a boon to consumers concerned about their monthly bills. Up to 100 electricity providers compete for new residential and commercial accounts daily. This competition means lower quoted rates and other methods of attracting your business.

The biggest issue for Mission residents is sorting through all of the available plans. With dozens of competitors, hundreds of energy plans offer a full spectrum of monthly rates.

Average Electricity Rates in Mission

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Mission

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing your exact monthly usage simplifies the energy shopping process in Mission. This information is vital because energy companies use a standardized price per kWh rate to provide their quotes.

The bottom line is that unless your house uses this exact amount of kWh each month, your bill will vary from the quoted price.

There is a better way to shop for energy plans in Mission.

Compare Power uses your zip code and monthly usage rate to find plans that meet your needs. The site uses your actual usage to create customized quotes rather than relying on the one-size approach offered by energy companies.

The search process takes a few seconds so that you can find your next energy provider and sign up in minutes. Compare Power allows users to complete sign-up without leaving the site.

From search to the selection, you can eliminate hours of research and calculation using Compare Power. You will also see all of the fees and taxes applied to your new account without having to read the fine print. All you need is your previous year’s worth of electrical usage.

If you don’t know your usage, take your best guess

New homeowners or those who can’t obtain actual usage for the previous year should estimate it in a typical month.

This isn’t a perfect approach, but it is better than selecting the first plan you see and finding that your bill is higher than your previous energy contract.

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Mission: Setting up Electricity

Important: If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Mission, it is helpful to have the electrical usage of your property from the previous year.

Your property’s previous owner should be able to find usage statistics on their billing statements. This research may take a little time, but the effort could save you money.

Compare Power crunches the numbers instantly to help you meet your home’s usage pattern.

If you can’t obtain usage statistics, utilize Compare Power’s “Help Me Choose” tool to evaluate your usage. The site also provides reminders for your upcoming switch from an old contract to a new contract.

Switching Electricity Companies in Mission

Your current electric provider may take the end of your current energy contract as a chance to increase your rates.

This means that you should search for affordable electricity rates each year to take the temperature of the energy market. You may save hundreds of dollars each year by switching accounts.

Switching contracts is easy because your new electricity company handles everything, including cancellation. As you switch, you don’t need to worry about representatives coming to your home or any disruption in your power. The switch only takes minutes, and you could realize savings in the first month.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Mission is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home remain the same, no matter your provider.

Here is some food for thought about switching plans:

  • Texas law allows early contract cancellation within 14 days of the contract’s end without penalty.
  • Some plans allow you to arrange your next contract within 60 days of your current contract’s conclusion.
  • You may find a new energy provider with a rate that makes early cancellation worthwhile even if you pay the penalty.

Mission Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Mission was founded in 1908 by John Shary, known as the 'Father of the Texas Citrus Industry,' who established the town as a railroad depot for shipping citrus fruits north. The city was named after the nearby La Lomita Mission, a historic Catholic chapel built in 1865 that served as a waystation for traveling priests ministering to the Rio Grande Valley.

RECENT

In 2019, Mission completed construction of the $15 million Speer Memorial Library, a state-of-the-art facility that became the largest public library in the Rio Grande Valley. The 30,000-square-foot facility features advanced technology centers, maker spaces, and serves as a regional hub for digital literacy programs serving the entire South Texas border region.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Mission is the hometown of Lloyd Bentsen, who served as U.S. Senator from Texas for 22 years and became Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton. Bentsen gained national fame during the 1988 vice-presidential debate when he delivered the memorable line 'Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy' to Dan Quayle, which became one of the most quoted political zingers in American history.

DID YOU KNOW

Mission is home to the world's largest killer bee research facility, operated by the USDA's Agricultural Research Service since 1990. The facility studies Africanized honey bees that migrated north from South America, and Mission scientists have developed crucial protocols used worldwide for managing these aggressive bees that can pursue threats for over a quarter-mile.

CULTURAL

Mission hosts the annual Texas Citrus Fiesta every January, a tradition dating back to 1932 that celebrates the Rio Grande Valley's citrus heritage with elaborate floats made entirely of citrus fruits and flowers. The festival features the crowning of a Citrus Queen and includes a parade where over 30 tons of oranges and grapefruits are used to decorate floats, making it one of the most unique agricultural celebrations in America.
