Your electricity in zip code 78935 is delivered by AEP Texas Central. Since this area is deregulated, you can choose your retail electricity provider while AEP Texas Central maintains the power lines and handles outage restoration.
Alleyton, Texas (zip code 78935) sits in Colorado County — a rural but well-connected community served by AEP Texas Central Co. (AEPTCC) for electricity delivery. Thanks to Texas deregulation, Alleyton residents have genuine choice when it comes to who supplies their electricity. As of March 2026, 18 retail electric providers (REPs) are competing for customers in this zip code, offering 82 distinct plans with rates ranging well below the state average. That level of competition is genuinely good news for households here — it means providers are working hard to earn your business, and a few minutes of comparison shopping can translate into meaningful annual savings on your electric bill.
The most competitive rate currently available in the 78935 zip code is 9.5¢/kWh, offered by True Power on their AEPTCC 12-Month Fixed Residential plan. That's a standout figure — well below the average rate across all 82 available plans, which sits at 12.7¢/kWh. The market-wide average of 12.7¢/kWh is itself higher than the best available rate by more than 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, which illustrates exactly why comparing plans matters. At 1,000 kWh per month (a typical Texas household), choosing the best rate over the average could save you roughly $38/month — or about $456 annually.
Pricing in the AEP-Central South zone is influenced by wholesale energy market conditions, natural gas prices, transmission costs, and seasonal demand fluctuations. Spring months like March tend to offer more favorable rates before summer air conditioning demand drives prices upward, making now a strategic time to lock in a fixed-rate plan.
Contract length has a dramatic impact on what you'll pay in 78935 right now:
For most Alleyton households, a 12-month fixed-rate plan hits the sweet spot — offering price stability through the expensive summer cooling season without tying you in for years. If you can find a plan at or near the 9.5¢/kWh mark on a 12-month term, that's an exceptional value worth locking in before March rates shift.
With 18 providers actively competing in Alleyton's AEP-Central territory, this is a high-competition market — and consumers are the direct beneficiaries. Active providers include True Power, TXU Energy, 4Change Energy, Shell Energy, Ambit Energy, XOOM Energy, Spark Energy, CleanSky Energy, Payless Power, and others. Among the 82 available plans, 73 are fixed-rate and 6 are green/renewable options — giving both budget-focused and environmentally-conscious shoppers meaningful choices.
Regardless of which retail provider you choose, AEP Texas Central (AEP-Central) continues to own and maintain the physical wires, poles, and meters serving your home in 78935. Their delivery charges — known as TDSP (Transmission and Distribution Service Provider) fees — are state-regulated and identical no matter which REP you select. This means switching providers never affects the reliability or quality of your electricity delivery. AEP Texas Central can be reached at 1-866-223-8508 or at aeptexas.com for outage reporting and service questions.
To switch, simply contact your chosen REP with your ESIID (Electric Service Identifier, found on your current bill). The switch is free, causes zero service interruption, and your new rate typically activates on your next scheduled meter read date.
Alleyton's 78935 rates are competitive with neighboring communities in the AEP-Central South zone, including Eagle Lake (77434) and Columbus (78934) in Colorado County. Colorado County's largely rural character means energy demand patterns here differ from urban centers — summer cooling loads are significant, but commercial demand is lower, which can work in residential customers' favor during rate negotiations. Comparing rates across nearby zip codes can sometimes surface plan promotions targeted at specific service areas, so it's worth checking adjacent zips as well.

Lock in a fixed-rate electricity plan before June each year. Alleyton's Gulf Coast summers are long and intensely humid, and energy demand spikes drive variable rates higher precisely when your AC is working hardest — a fixed plan shields your budget from those surges.
Install a programmable or smart thermostat and set it to pre-cool your home during early morning hours before peak heat arrives. In Alleyton's climate, afternoon temperatures above 95°F can push real-time energy costs significantly higher on variable-rate plans.
Check whether your chosen REP offers a free nights or weekends plan. If your household runs major appliances — laundry, dishwasher, pool pumps — during off-peak hours, these plans can meaningfully reduce your effective cost per kilowatt-hour.
After Winter Storm Uri, consider maintaining an emergency backup heating source such as a propane space heater. Rare but severe cold events do reach Colorado County, and having a secondary heat option reduces pressure on your electric system during grid stress events.
Compare the Energy Charge (supply rate) separately from the AEP Texas Central delivery charge when evaluating plans. The TDSP fee is non-negotiable and applies to every plan — your savings come entirely from finding the most competitive supply rate among REPs serving 78935.
