AEP Energy has been great! They send you a reminder when your current rate is about to expire and renewing at a new low rate on their website was extremely easy. There is a nice rewards program also and they send fun, informative emails out every so often. I am very pleased with my AEP Energy experience!

Steve S. Athens, OH

As a repeat subscriber to AEP Energy’s renewable energy program, I have been very happy with every aspect of this service. The rates are fair, the website is easy to navigate and it was a simple process to switch to AEP Energy from our regular electricity provider. It is so important that our country expands its capacity for green energy sources, and I have been very pleased to be able to direct our household energy dollars toward support of wind power.
