TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Laredo
Fixed-rate plans
104 of the 111 plans in Laredo's market are fixed-rate, with prices holding steady for the contract term. Rates range from a low of 6.8¢/kWh to an average of 14.17¢/kWh, useful for budgeting through long, hot summers.
Variable-rate plans
Laredo's 111-plan market currently lists no variable-rate or month-to-month plans, so no average price is available for this category. Customers wanting rates that move with wholesale prices cannot find them here; fixed-rate and time-of-use options are the alternatives.
Renewable energy
109 renewable energy plans are offered in Laredo, 22 of them 100% green, at an average of 14.31¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.01¢ relative to the market average, so the price difference is negligible.
Prepaid plans
2 prepaid plans are listed in Laredo at an average of 18.65¢/kWh, the highest average among these plan types. Prepaid plans require payment before usage, giving households control over spending and suiting renters or irregular budgets.
Time-of-use plans
5 time-of-use plans are offered in Laredo at an average of 15.55¢/kWh, with rates varying by hour. Laredo's afternoon peak cooling demand during summer months makes timing of air conditioner use a factor in bills under these plans.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans charge no energy fee during set overnight and weekend hours. Because Laredo's peak cooling demand occurs in afternoons, these hours can suit households able to shift laundry, dishwashing, or EV charging.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Laredo
As of Oct 22nd, 2026, the lowest rate in Laredo is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 6.8¢/kWh, well below the market average of 14.32¢/kWh. With 111 total plans available, comparing options can help you find savings that fit your usage.
Laredo's hot summers drive high air conditioning use, which raises electricity consumption and bills during peak months. Since cooling is the main load, choosing a plan with predictable pricing and managing AC settings can help control costs when temperatures climb.
Most Laredo homes are single-family residences (68% of housing) using about 1,225 kWh monthly. Plans in the 2000 kWh tier are recommended for these homes, and with 109 of 111 plans offering green energy at roughly the market average, you can choose renewable power without a meaningful price penalty.
Start by comparing plans, since switching from the 14.32¢/kWh market average toward a 6.8¢/kWh option can dramatically cut costs. Also raise your thermostat when possible, use ceiling fans, seal drafts, and run major appliances during off-peak hours to reduce monthly kWh usage.
