Can I switch my energy supplier through AEP?

Asked 5 months ago
AEP, or American Electric Power, primarily operates as a utility company that provides electric distribution services. They do not directly act as an energy supplier, but rather deliver electricity to customers. In many regions, customers have the option to choose their energy supplier independent of the utility that provides the distribution service. This process is known as energy choice. To switch your energy supplier, you typically would select a supplier that offers a plan that suits your needs. You can compare the various suppliers available in your area, including their rates and contract terms. Once you choose a supplier, you would initiate the switch through that supplier, who would then coordinate with AEP on your behalf. It is important to review the terms and conditions of any new energy supplier and understand the potential impact on your monthly bills, contract length, and any exit fees. For more detailed information on your specific situation or to explore available suppliers, you might want to check the current AEP web page, where additional resources and relevant information can be found.
