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 Roma’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 Roma 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 Roma 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.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Roma

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing the amount of electricity you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Roma. Why is this important?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much power you use each month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you saw when you enrolled.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your electricity company.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing options by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.

Even better, if you have a year of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to determine the perfect energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few seconds.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and navigating you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen power provider without ever having to leave our service.

The takeaway here is you should determine your expected or historical usage before selecting the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average monthly energy usage.

Although knowing the previous 12 months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

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

Moving to Roma: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Roma, to get the best rate, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool can assess your home’s projected electricity consumption.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Roma

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate every year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not act, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to contact your current company to cancel (no “break-up call”)
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you switch, your new energy company will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

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

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch electricity companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early termination” fee. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you’re ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the best rate.

You will want to gather your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Roma Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Roma was founded in 1765 as a Spanish colonial settlement and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in Texas. The city served as a crucial crossing point on the Rio Grande for Spanish missionaries and traders, with its strategic location making it a vital link between Mexico and the expanding Texas frontier during the colonial period.

RECENT

In 2020, Roma completed construction of a new $15 million international bridge connecting the city directly to Miguel Alemán, Mexico, significantly boosting cross-border commerce and tourism. The Roma-Miguel Alemán International Bridge has become a major economic driver for the region, handling thousands of commercial vehicles and pedestrians monthly.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: Roma gained international attention when it served as a filming location for several major Hollywood productions, including scenes from the Netflix series 'Ozark' and various border-themed documentaries. The city's historic downtown plaza and colonial architecture have made it a popular choice for filmmakers seeking authentic Mexican-American border settings.

DID YOU KNOW

Roma is home to one of the last remaining hand-pulled ferry systems in Texas, operating continuously since the 1800s to transport people and vehicles across the Rio Grande. The Los Ebanos Ferry, located just outside Roma, can only carry three cars at a time and is pulled across the river by hand using a cable system, making it a unique piece of living transportation history.

CULTURAL

Roma celebrates its rich bicultural heritage through the annual Roma International Festival, which features traditional Mexican folk dancing, authentic border cuisine, and artisan crafts from both sides of the Rio Grande. The city's downtown historic district maintains its original Spanish colonial layout with a central plaza, making it one of the best-preserved examples of 18th-century urban planning in South Texas.
