HOW TO CHOOSE
Choosing an electric company in Laredo.
When looking for your retail electricity provider and choosing an electric plan, there’s a number of factors to keep in mind. You’ll be able to choose a plan that’s best for you if you understand your energy usage and what’s important to you in a provider. Below are a series of tips to help you make the best decision for your household.
1
Assess Your Usage Patterns
Consider your home size and Laredo's hot climate when estimating electricity needs. Summer cooling demands significantly increase consumption, especially for larger homes. Review past bills to identify your typical monthly usage in kilowatt-hours.
2
Filter Plans by Criteria
Use the available filters to narrow down from 88 plans based on your usage level, preferred contract length, and renewable energy preferences. Match plan specifications to your household's actual consumption patterns for accurate cost comparisons.
3
Review the Facts Label
Read each plan's Electricity Facts Label carefully to understand the price per kilowatt-hour at different usage levels. The EFL reveals additional fees, billing charges, and actual costs that may not appear in advertised rates.
4
Check Provider Ratings
Review our provider ratings compiled from customer reviews and PUC complaints data displayed on each plan card. These ratings help identify companies with strong customer service records and reliable billing practices in Texas.
5
Understand Contract Requirements
Examine contract length options, early termination fees, and renewal terms before committing. Fixed-rate plans offer price stability during Laredo's extreme summer months, while variable plans provide flexibility without long-term commitments.
6
Complete Your Plan Enrollment
Submit your application through our integrated system synced with ComparePower. Have your service address, move-in date, and identification ready. Most providers activate service within three to five business days of enrollment.
TEXAS ENERGY DEREGULATION
How deregulated energy works
A deregulated energy market is one where customers have the power to choose their electricity provider, rather than being limited to a single utility. In Texas, about 90% of residents have this freedom. This system is designed to encourage competition, leading to better electricity prices and services for consumers. In the deregulated electricity market, retail electric providers (REPs) offer various plans and rates, while utility companies maintain the infrastructure and deliver the electricity.
Retail Electric Providers
In a deregulated market like Texas, you get to choose your retail electric provider. We can help you decide on the right provider and plan.
Utility Companies
Utility companies maintain the infrastructure to deliver your energy and are the same regardless of the energy provider you choose.
