Letter of credit from most recent electricity provider
Proof that you are 65 years of age or older and not currently delinquent in payment for another electric company

Who Delivers the Cheap Power To Laredo?

Deregulation of the Texas electricity market broke up existing monopolies in to separate entities with different roles within the market.

The two key types of company that are relevant to electricity consumers are the Retail Electricity Providers and the Transmission Distribution Utilities (TDUs)

Your retail electricity provider is the company whose name is one your bill. Assuming your area isn’t under a regional of city coop, you are free to choose your retail electricity provider. These companies have names you are familiar with such as TXU, Reliant, and Green Mountain Energy.

Retail electricity providers compete with each other for your business. Their job is to purchase electricity from the wholesale electricity market and resell it to the end users while, hopefully, smoothing out the price volatility that is often found in the wholesale electricity market.

When they sell you a 12 month electricity plan, they are locking in a rate for you while taking on the risk of price volitivity within the wholesale market. The retail electricity provider does not deliver your electricity.

Electricity in Texas is delivered to your home by Transmission Distribution Utilities (TDUs). TDUs maintain the powerlines within a given area and are responsible for keeping the power flowing.

The utility responsible for the Laredo area in Oncor. If you have a power outage, it is Oncor you should call.

Tips for Saving Even More on Your Electricity

Although they can run up your electric bill, air conditioning units are a must-have in Laredo. These energy-intensive appliances account for a large chuck of our monthly electricity usage for Texas homeowners. But it’s just a fact of life here.

Most people know it’s important to regularly change out the air filters, but it’s an easy chore to forget. Fresh filters make it easier for the a/c units to push the air throughout the home. This reduces the amount of electricity required to cool your home.

Luckily, the filters often cost less than a dollar and they can be swapped out in less than a minute. That little bit of money spent on a new filter can equate to big savings every month on your electric bill.

Do You Already Know This About Laredo?

Laredo is very close to the Mexican border, on the southern tip of the state of Texas. The nearest major Texas city is Corpus Christi, which is almost 130 miles away. San Antonio is about 145 miles away. But despite its remoteness from those major cities, its population is over 255,000. And because it is so close to the Mexican border, the populace is predominantly Hispanic. Some figures suggest upwards of 95%, meaning that it ranks extremely low on diversity for American cities (one of the least diverse).

One of the biggest celebrations of its kind is had in Laredo: George Washington’s Birthday Celebration, which has a Jalapeno Festival, Border Beer Fest, Princess Pocahontas Pageant, and many others for almost a month straight. There are upwards of 400,000 who attend the festival annually.

For living satisfaction, Laredo does relatively well. It is cheaper than the national average to live in the city: housing is cheapest. But there is a considerable tradeoff: hot climate, long commute time, being a long drive away from other major cities. But there are still things to do while in the city of course!

You can visit the San Augustin Plaza, the Mall del Norte, Republic of the Rio Grande Museum, and many other points of interest.
