AEP Texas Net Metering: What Abilene Solar Owners Should Watch in 2026
Net metering rules continue to evolve. Here's what changed heading into 2026.
AEP Texas's distribution service in Abilene continues to support net energy billing through retail electric providers (REPs). The credit you receive for exported solar depends heavily on which REP plan you choose.
Several REPs now offer dedicated solar buyback plans that credit exports at or near the full retail rate. Others credit a wholesale-indexed rate that varies hourly. Pure Solar Abilene helps homeowners evaluate the best plan for their system size and consumption pattern.
If you signed up with a generic fixed-rate plan, you may be leaving money on the table. Review your plan annually as rates and plan structures change.
