What Is the AEP Texas North Service Area?
AEP Texas is a regulated Transmission and Distribution Utility, commonly called a TDU or TDSP. It maintains the poles, power lines, meters and other equipment that delivers electricity throughout its service territory.
AEP Texas has two service divisions:
- AEP Texas North
- AEP Texas Central
AEP Texas North covers portions of West Texas. Its service territory includes Abilene, San Angelo, McCamey, Stamford, Marfa, Presidio and numerous surrounding communities.
AEP Texas Central primarily serves South Texas, including Corpus Christi, Victoria, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley. The two divisions have separate ZIP-code references and may have different regulated delivery charges. AEP Texas provides an official ZIP-code page for both divisions.
Southern Federal Power and AEP Texas North have different responsibilities:
- Southern Federal Power offers electricity plans, sends bills and provides retail account support.
- AEP Texas North delivers electricity, reads meters, maintains the local distribution system and responds to power outages.
Selecting Southern Federal Power does not change the utility that maintains the poles and wires serving your address.

How Do I Check My AEP Texas North Address?
Follow these three steps:
- Visit SouthernFederal.com.
- Enter the ZIP code for your service address.
- Confirm that AEP Texas North is the delivery utility and review the available Southern Federal Power plans.
Plan availability, pricing and contract options can change. The plans displayed for the individual service location provide more reliable information than a general ZIP-code list.
Customers can also enter their ZIP code at PowerToChoose.org, the official electricity-shopping website operated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Can Two Addresses in the Same ZIP Code Have Different Utilities?
Yes. ZIP codes are created for mail delivery and do not necessarily match electric utility boundaries.
This is especially important in West Texas, where AEP Texas North territory may border or surround areas served by municipal utilities and electric cooperatives.
Two homes in the same city or ZIP code can sometimes have different delivery utilities. Your complete service address and its Electricity Service Identifier, commonly called an ESI ID, provide a more reliable confirmation.
Is AEP Texas North My Electricity Provider?
AEP Texas North delivers electricity, but it is not the Retail Electric Provider that offers your electricity plan or sends your bill.
AEP Texas delivers electricity to more than one million meters across its combined South and West Texas territory, regardless of which Retail Electric Provider the customer selects. AEP Texas also builds power lines, restores service after outages and records electricity usage for Retail Electric Providers.
For Southern Federal Power customers in the AEP Texas North territory, Southern Federal manages the retail account while AEP Texas maintains the delivery system.
