Victoria Energy Plans & Rates
History: The city of Victoria was founded in 1824 by Martín De León, a Mexican empresario, in honor of the first President of the Republic of Mexico, Guadalupe Victoria. During the Texas Revolution, Guadalupe Victoria contributed soldiers and supplies to pro-revolutionary forces. However, after James Fannin was defeated by the Mexican army at the Battle of Coleto, the town was occupied by Mexican forces. In the mid-19th century, the city gained a large population of European immigrants. Victoria City later solidified its prominence through its agricultural and petrochemical industries.

What is a good rate per kWh in Victoria?
Due to a collapse in commodity prices, the best energy rates in Victoria per kWh plummeted to as low as 5 cents and 6 cents on HomeEnergyClub.com. Higher commodity prices will make a comeback, however, and seasonal fluctuations are common. Now could be the best time to lock in low rates per kWh by enrolling in a 12-month, 24-month, 36-month or 60-month energy plan. With commodity prices recovering, residential rates will rise due to increased costs of power generation. About 11 cents/kWh has been the average amount paid for residential electricity in Texas in recent times.

Why is my Victoria energy bill so high?
Each energy plan at Home Energy Club is vetted to help you avoid bill shocks caused by deceptive gimmick plans. You can also experience alarmingly high energy bills for other reasons, including:
- Expiration of the the plan you chose. It is important to renew or switch your energy plan on or before the expiration date of your fixed price energy plan. Otherwise, you may learn the way energy providers commonly move customers with expired plans to variable-rate energy plans with the highest rates.
- Rates have been increased by the light company. If you are on a variable rate plan, your energy company can raise your rate at any time, and the same is true of plans touting “wholesale prices.”
- Your energy use does not match your electricity plan. Consumers often get negative bill surprises as a result of signing up for a plan that doesn’t match energy usage in the home. To ensure that you choose an energy plan based on the home’s pattern of energy usage, review the Electricity Facts Label (read the guide).
- Other factors that can increase your electricity bill include a lack of energy efficiency in the home and extremely hot Texas summers that lead to sharp increases in energy usage.
