The Corpus Christi power company and electric utility
AEP Texas is the electric utility in Corpus Christi. It owns the poles, lines and meters, and it delivers power for every electric company on this page.
- Power outage: call AEP Texas at 866-223-8508. Your electric company can’t repair lines.
- Billing or plan questions: call the company whose name is on your bill.
- Outside the city: some addresses are on Nueces Electric Cooperative lines, not AEP Texas lines. Your bill shows which one delivers your power.
Hurricane season tip: storms can knock out power across the Coastal Bend for days. Save the AEP Texas outage number in your phone before the season starts. Switching electric companies won’t change how fast your power comes back.
