Yes — most Loraine addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Loraine today is 6.8¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Loraine

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Determining how much electricity you will use month-to-month is the best way to shop for energy in Loraine. Why should you care?

The rate you see energy providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much energy you consume each month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you ordered.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to pick your power company.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing options by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.

Better still, if you have 12 months of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to discover your home’s ideal energy rate plan.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is done in moments.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and guide you step-by-step to the energy plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your selected electricity company without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you should know your expected or historical usage before choosing the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average energy in any given month.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly picking the first plan you see advertised by an energy company at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Loraine: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Loraine, to get the best rate, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Loraine

Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is important to shop for a lower price each year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your electricity bill.

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to contact your current provider to cancel (no “break-up call”)
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you decide to switch, your new energy provider will handle everything, including canceling service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Loraine is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver power to your home do not change when you switch energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your contract ends without an “early cancellation” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.

And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.

If you’re ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the best price.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

Loraine Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Loraine was founded in 1906 as a railroad town along the Texas and Pacific Railway, named after Lorraine, France, though the spelling was simplified over time. The town served as a crucial water stop and shipping point for cotton and cattle in Mitchell County, with the railroad bringing prosperity and growth to the area during the early 20th century boom.

RECENT

In 2018, Loraine completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks and period lighting. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local fundraising efforts, breathing new life into the small town's commercial district and attracting visitors interested in West Texas history.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music singer and songwriter Red Steagall, known as the 'Cowboy Poet of Texas,' spent part of his childhood in Loraine and credits the town's rural atmosphere with inspiring his Western-themed music. Steagall went on to become the official Cowboy Poet of Texas and has been inducted into the Western Music Hall of Fame, often referencing his small-town Texas roots in his performances.

DID YOU KNOW

Loraine is home to one of the last remaining original Texas and Pacific Railway depots in West Texas, built in 1907 and still standing in its original location. The depot now serves as a museum and community center, housing artifacts from the town's railroad heyday including original telegraph equipment and a restored baggage cart that once served passengers traveling between Dallas and El Paso.

CULTURAL

Every October, Loraine hosts the annual 'Pumpkin Festival' where the entire population of 602 residents comes together to carve jack-o'-lanterns that line Main Street for Halloween night. The tradition started in 1995 when a local farmer donated his entire pumpkin crop to the town, and now draws visitors from across Mitchell County who come to see the small town transformed into a glowing pumpkin wonderland.
