After comparing approved electricity providers from a list provided by my local utility, AEP Energy stood out with the lowest rates and no fees. The application process was quick and painless. Approval was granted in a short period of time. There was great communication from the company, and I look forward to earning rewards.

Susan C. Churchville, MD

I originally switched to AEP Energy to receive low rates and no cancellation fees, but I was very impressed with the customer service I received when renewing my contract. I have since recommended AEP Energy to a close friend, who indeed signed on, and I will continue to encourage other friends and neighbors to switch to AEP Energy.
