# Haskell, Texas electricity: AEP Texas North wires and 1,523 competitive homes

_Updated October 19, 2026. Data: ERCOT Oct 5, 2026; Census ACS 2020-2024; Power to Choose Oct 19, 2026, 7:59 AM CT._

**Haskell at a glance:** 1,523 Haskell-addressed homes, all wired by AEP Texas North (ERCOT, Oct. 5, 2026). Haskell's 1,523 placed homes sit in unsplit ZIP codes; a lookup still confirms each address.

- Heating fuel, Haskell homes (ACS 2020-2024): electricity 18.4% (±5), utility gas 74.0%, propane 5.4%; Haskell County overall: 31.6% electric. (Source: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/summary_file/2024/table-based-SF/data/5YRData/)
- Of Haskell homes paying a power bill, 29.3% report $250 or more a month and 22.4% under $100 (Haskell County: 33.8% at $250+). (Source: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/summary_file/2024/table-based-SF/data/5YRData/)
- Housing stock: 87.8% detached houses, 6.2% mobile homes; median year built 1958, 3.5% built 2010 or later. (Source: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/summary_file/2024/table-based-SF/data/5YRData/)
- ERCOT status split for 2,330 Haskell home meters (Oct. 5, 2026): active 1,523, inactive 501, de-energized 306; idle share 34.6%. (Source: https://www.ercot.com/misapp/GetReports.do?reportTypeId=203)
- ACS 2020-2024: 18.2% of Haskell housing units vacant (±7). Vacant homes keep meters that are not counted as households. (Source: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/summary_file/2024/table-based-SF/data/5YRData/)
- 1,523 home meters use the Haskell postal name, against 1,116 households inside city limits (1.36 per household): the mailing area runs well past the boundary.

- 79521 carries every one of Haskell's placed homes; ratio across the whole ZIP 1.10, from 1,523 home meters in all and 1,388 households.

## Questions
**Do I get to pick my electric company in Haskell?** Mostly. ERCOT counts 1,523 competitive Haskell home meters, all on AEP Texas North's system, against 1,116 households. An address lookup settles it.
**Do Haskell homes heat with electricity?** 18.4% of Haskell homes heat with electricity (ACS 2020-2024, margin ±5) and 74.0% with utility gas; 29.3% of bill-paying homes report $250 or more a month. Electric-heat homes should compare plans at winter usage.
**What ZIP code do most Haskell electricity customers have?** 79521 (1,523 Haskell homes on the competitive market). Across the full ZIP: 1.10 meters per household, 1,523 home meters in all.
**Who handles Haskell power outages?** Outages go to AEP Texas North (aeptexas.com/outages), the wires utility for 1,523 Haskell competitive homes.
**How do I set up power at a new Haskell home?** Check the address is on AEP Texas North's wires, choose a plan and a start date. Haskell had 807 idle home meters (inactive or de-energized) on Oct. 5, 2026, so many move-ins reconnect an existing meter.
