TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Laredo
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans lock in one per-kWh price for the contract term, so bills stay stable through Laredo's hot summers when cooling drives usage. Of 107 fixed-rate offers here, the cheapest is 6.8¢/kWh and the average is 14.24¢/kWh.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are currently listed for Laredo, so the market count is zero. Variable plans typically adjust per-kWh prices with wholesale conditions, which can change monthly bills during peak summer demand.
Renewable energy
Laredo has 112 renewable energy plans, 22 of which are 100% green. Their average of 14.36¢/kWh carries a green premium of -0.01¢ relative to the market average, so the price difference is negligible.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are listed in Laredo, averaging 18.65¢/kWh, the highest average among plan types shown here. Prepaid plans require payment before usage, and customers should compare any deposit or fee terms before choosing one.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans in Laredo average 15.55¢/kWh and charge different rates by time of day. Because midday and afternoon heat raises cooling demand, usage shifted to evening or overnight hours can lower costs under these plans.
Free nights & weekends
Some plans offer no-charge electricity during set overnight or weekend hours, which suits households that run laundry, dishwashers, or EV charging off-peak. Free-hour windows and any higher daytime rates should be reviewed in each plan's terms.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Laredo
As of Oct 24th, 2026, the lowest rate in Laredo is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 6.8¢/kWh, well below the market average of 14.37¢/kWh. With 114 plans available, comparing options can help you find savings that match your usage.
Laredo's long, hot summers push air conditioning use high, often making summer the most expensive stretch for electricity bills. Mild winters help limit heating costs. Since most homes use about 1225 kWh monthly, choosing a plan with lower rates can soften the impact of peak summer demand.
Single-family homes make up 68% of Laredo housing, and most use around 1225 kWh monthly. A 2000 kWh tier plan is recommended for these homes, giving room for summer AC spikes. 112 of 114 plans are green and priced nearly identical to the market average.
Start by comparing plans, since the cheapest option at 6.8¢/kWh sits far below the 14.37¢/kWh average. Matching a plan's tier to your roughly 1225 kWh monthly usage avoids overpaying. Also use AC thermostats wisely, seal leaks, and run appliances during off-peak hours.
