How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Uvalde

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much energy you will consume monthly is the ideal way to find a deal on power in Uvalde. Why should you care?

The rate electricity providers advertise for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you use in a month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to choose your energy company.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing plans by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for your household.

Even better, if you have a year 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 find the ideal energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in just seconds.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers to guide you to the electricity plan that’s best for your household’s usage.

We clarify the details, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know exactly where your money goes and what to expect on your bill.

We then help you enroll with your selected power provider without ever leaving our website.

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before picking the right energy plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage or own a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average 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 electricity provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Uvalde: Setting up Electricity

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

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 renewing your existing plan or possibly switching plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Uvalde

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower rate each year when your contract expires is essential.

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

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing energy companies.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to call 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 switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Uvalde is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

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

You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early termination” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

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

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you are unsure, email us your latest energy bill, and one of our team members will get back to you promptly with your best options.

If you’re ready to switch and want to find the best plan, remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

You will want to find your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Uvalde Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Uvalde was founded in 1853 and named after Spanish governor Juan de Ugalde, who fought Apache raids in the region during the 1780s. The town became a crucial stop on the cattle trail from Mexico to Kansas, and later served as a key railroad junction when the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway arrived in 1881, transforming it from a frontier outpost into a thriving commercial center.

RECENT

In 2020, Uvalde completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and created a new civic plaza. The $8.5 million investment brought new businesses, restaurants, and cultural venues to the downtown core, helping to reverse decades of economic decline and attract young families back to the city center.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Uvalde is the hometown of former Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe Jr., who served from 1973 to 1979 and was known for his conservative fiscal policies and opposition to state income tax. The city is also famous for being the childhood home of Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, who spent his early years here before his family moved to Longview, and he often speaks fondly of his South Texas roots.

DID YOU KNOW

Uvalde is home to the world's largest mesquite tree, a massive specimen that stands 35 feet tall with a crown spread of 87 feet and a trunk circumference of over 10 feet. This ancient tree, estimated to be over 100 years old, has become a tourist attraction and symbol of the city's resilience, surviving droughts, storms, and urban development while continuing to thrive in the courthouse square.

CULTURAL

Uvalde proudly calls itself the 'Honey Capital of the World' due to its thriving beekeeping industry that produces over 10 million pounds of honey annually. The city hosts an annual Honey Festival each June, featuring honey tastings, beekeeping demonstrations, and the crowning of a Honey Queen, celebrating an industry that began in the 1920s when local ranchers discovered the area's abundant wildflowers created perfect conditions for honey production.
