Laredo Energy Plans & Rates

History:  The European colonial settlement of Villa de San Agustin de Laredo, now known as Laredo, was founded in 1755 by Don Tomás Sánchez Barrera while the area was still a part of a Spanish colony of New Spain. In 1840, Laredo was the capital of independence of the Republic of the Rio, later brought back into Mexico by military force. In 1852, Laredo was finally re-chartered as a Texas city. Laredo is one of the oldest crossing points along the Mexico-United States border and the largest inland port of entry in the United States.

What is a good rate per kWh in Laredo?

A crash in commodity prices has resulted in unusually low per kWh rates in Laredo, such as 5 cents and 6 cents per kWh on HomeEnergyClub.com. Between recovering commodity rates and seasonal fluctuations, however, energy rates are on pace to rise. It makes sense at this time to lock in a low rate with an enrollment in a 24-month, 36-month, or 60-month energy plan. The average cost of residential electricity for Texans in recent years was about 11 cents per kWh.

Where to find objective electric company reviews and ratings in Laredo?

For electric company ratings, reviews, and complaint statistics in Laredo, Home Energy Club uses the following independent, objective sources:

• The Public Utility Commission of Texas
• The Better Business Bureau (BBB)
• Google Reviews
• Yelp Reviews
• Home Energy Club/Amazon surveys of Amazon’s customer base

Reviews developed by websites that sell electricity are not recommended because of the potential for bias. HomeEnergyClub.com only includes reviews and ratings of Laredo electric companies from reliable, objective sources.

Why is my Laredo energy bill so high?

When electricity bills are unexpectedly high, it could be for a variety of reasons other than tricky energy plans, as described on Home Energy Club:

• The fixed-price plan you chose has expired. When fixed price energy plans expire without being renewed or changed to a different plan of your choice, your energy costs can skyrocket. It is a common tactic for energy providers to simply move customers to a very high variable rate once their fixed-rate plan has expired.
• Rates have been increased by the energy supplier. Energy companies can raise your electricity rates at any given time if you are enrolled in a variable rate plan. Caution should be used when plans offer “wholesale prices” because that terminology is frequently associated with variable rate plans, which often cause alarming bill surprises in summer months.
• The energy plan you chose is not a match with your energy use. Awful bill surprises are often a result of choosing a plan that only makes sense with a certain level of usage which is different than the one selected. For example, an apartment-dweller using an average 500 kWh for apartment living enrolls in an energy plan meant for residents in very spacious homes that use 2,000 kWh or more. Your energy usage is information that should be at the forefront of decision-making because the best energy plan you can choose matches the energy usage in your home. Avoiding mistakes is easier when you review the Electricity Facts Label (read our guide).
• Other factors that can increase your energy costs include a home that could use improved energy efficiency and big increases in electricity use resulting from 3-digit temperatures in summer months.

Each energy plan at HomeEnergyClub.com is vetted to help you avoid plans with deceptive gimmicks that lead to upsetting energy bill surprises.
