Laredo utility companies and energy providers
In Laredo’s deregulated electricity market, you’ll deal with two companies to receive power for your home or business: your utility and your electricity company. Your utility delivers electricity and manages the local electrical infrastructure, which includes managing power outages. This is determined by where you live, so you can’t choose your own. In Laredo, your utility is AEP Texas Central.
Electricity providers, meanwhile, generate or buy power and sell it to consumers, and you’re free to choose whichever provider best suits your needs. To find the best electric company near you, explore providers like Gexa Energy, TXU Energy, and 4Change Energy. Enter your ZIP code to search for the lowest Laredo electricity rates in your area.
Power outages in Laredo
Your energy supplier does not respond to power outages — your utility company does. If your power goes out, you’ll need to contact AEP Texas Central, regardless of which supplier you use. You can do so by reporting it through its online portal or calling 1-866-223-8508.
Choose your power in Laredo
If you’re moving to Texas from a different state, you may not have experienced a deregulated energy market before. The most important thing to know about it is that you now have the power to choose your own electricity provider and rate plan. The competition involved in a deregulated market allows you to shop strategically and save on your Laredo electricity rates.

Types of electricity plans in Laredo
Selecting an energy plan on the Choose Energy marketplace allows you to explore the different energy options available in your area. When you enter your ZIP code, you’ll find the following types of plans.
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans are a good option for someone looking for predictability on their monthly energy bill. These plans secure your energy rate for the length of your contract. However, during the non-peak season, when energy demand is down, you can’t change your mind to take advantage of decreasing rates unless you pay an early termination fee (ETF).
Variable-rate plans
Consumers who are flexible with their energy budget may be interested in a variable-rate plan. Electricity rates on this type of plan vary from month to month and can increase or decrease depending on the energy market. Since there’s no binding contract, you can change companies without paying a fee.
Prepaid and no-deposit plans
No-deposit plans are a helpful option for consumers worried about their credit or those who need to pay only for what they use. With prepaid plans, there is no deposit required as you’ll pay for your energy upfront — similar to loading a gift card. Your supplier will notify you when you need to recharge your balance to keep your service online.
