How weather affects Kingsville electricity rates

Thanks to its location on the Gulf Coast, the weather in Kingsville can get quite hot in the summer. With average highs in the 80s and 90s from May through October, Kingsville residents need air conditioning throughout much of the year. As a result, Kingsville electricity rates can increase significantly during these high-demand months. 

However, they also drop during milder seasons, making Kingsville’s mild winters, along with late fall and early spring, ideal times to switch plans and find a better rate. Keep in mind, though, that you may pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your current plan before the contract ends.

Types of plans in Kingsville

When you search for a new Kingsville electricity plan, you’ll encounter a variety of options. Our full guide to picking a plan will explain these in more detail, but here you’ll find a basic overview of the main plan types you’ll encounter. Call the number on your screen if you have any questions about plan types — our energy experts will be happy to help.

Fixed-rate plans in Kingsville

Fixed-rate plans are best for customers who don’t plan to move for a while and value predictable billing. These plans will secure your rate with a contract, typically for 12–36 months, during which time your basic rate won’t change. You’ll also have to pay an ETF if you cancel the plan before the contract period is up.

Variable-rate plans in Kingsville

Variable-rate plans are ideal if you know you’ll be moving in the future — or if you want to rate shop again sooner rather than later. These plans don’t include a contract, so you can cancel anytime. However, your rates can change every month, for better or worse.

No-deposit plans in Kingsville

When you establish new electric service, the energy provider will typically run a credit check and charge you a deposit if your score doesn’t meet a minimum threshold. If you’d rather avoid this, you can search for no-deposit plans, which typically allow you to prepay for energy and skip the deposit and credit check entirely.

Green electricity in Kingsville

Because Texas is one of the leading producers of renewable energy in the U.S., every Texas electricity plan includes a portion of wind or solar energy. You can find the exact amount on your Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Some providers such as Green Mountain and Gexa Energy even go the extra mile and provide 100% green energy plans.

Use our energy calculator to estimate your monthly usage and find a plan that best fits your typical monthly demand.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup

  • Don’t forget to read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
    • Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
    • % renewable energy sourcing
    • Early termination fees
  • Enjoy hassle-free supplier setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
  • Understanding your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.
