Thanks to Texas’s deregulated energy market, Victoria residents can choose their energy providers. The SaveOnEnergy marketplace makes it easy to shop around for plans and compare Victoria electricity rates, all at no cost to you.
Due to energy deregulation, electricity rates often fluctuate. The SaveOnEnergy marketplace can help you shop for energy plans and electricity rates in your area at any given time. Here’s how to find the best electricity rates in Victoria:
Electricity rates in Victoria can fluctuate daily. Many factors influence energy costs, including spikes in energy demand and the weather. This chart shows how average Texas retail energy rates change from month to month, based on U.S. Energy Information Administration data. The fluctuations are often seasonal, so you may be able to lock in a cheaper rate if you shop for an energy plan during an off-peak period. When you shop for electricity with the SaveOnEnergy marketplace, we can make sure you get the cheapest rate available.
Individuals have the power to choose their Victoria electricity providers, thanks to deregulation. Your energy provider is the company that buys or generates the energy that powers your home. No matter what energy provider you choose, your utility company will deliver your electricity and maintain the local electric infrastructure. You cannot choose your utility because it is determined by your location.
Your utility company — AEP Texas in Victoria — is responsible for maintaining the local electric infrastructure, including responding to power outages and downed power lines. If you experience a power outage or another problem with your electric service, you should contact AEP Texas:
When you’re shopping for Victoria electricity, it’s important to search for rates specifically in your area. Many providers operate across the entire state of Texas, but the rates they offer may differ depending on which city you live in. These price differences are primarily a result of different utility transmission rates.
SaveOnEnergy is the best way to find accurate rates near you since we provide rates based on your ZIP code. To get started, enter your ZIP code below to explore the most accurate rates for your home.
Victoria has hot summers with temperatures averaging over 90 degrees. During extreme temperatures, energy demand is higher as residents use more energy to cool their homes. However, there is less demand for energy in the winter when temperatures average at 65 degrees.
It is best to shop during times of lower demand because electric rates tend to follow energy demand. You can find a more affordable rate by shopping during autumn and spring when demand and rates are low.

You’ll have several different plan types to choose from when you sign up for electricity in Victoria. Choosing the right plan depends on your energy needs. Below we’ll cover a few of the most common plan types. If you have further questions, you can call the number on your screen to speak with a SaveOnEnergy energy expert.
A fixed-rate energy plan allows you to lock in your rate with a contract ranging from 12 to 36 months. During the length of your contract, your rates won’t fluctuate with the energy market. The good news is that you don’t have to worry about price hikes. However, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you want to end your contract early.
Unlike a fixed-rate plan, a variable-rate energy plan doesn’t require you to enter into a contract, nor does it allow you to lock in your rate. Instead, your monthly energy rate is based on the current energy market. Some months, your rate will spike, and you’ll pay a higher electricity bill. However, during other months, you’ll save money. Common types of variable rate plans include no-deposit and prepaid plans.
Texas is a leader in green energy and ranks near the top of all states for both wind and solar energy generation. As a result, Victoria residents can find affordable green energy plans.
Each electricity plan in Texas includes at least some green energy. You can find out exactly how much by reading the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL). There are also several providers that offer 100% renewable energy plans. Those providers include Gexa Energy, Chariot Energy, and Green Mountain Energy.
As a business owner, you can also use SaveOnEnergy to find cheap business electricity rates in Victoria. Business electricity plans are based on usage, time of usage, and other factors. Contact our commercial energy experts today to learn more. We can help you build a customized business energy plan with an affordable electricity rate.
Before you select a plan, it’s important to know how much energy you use each month. Our energy usage calculator can help you determine how much electricity your appliances use daily. With that info, we can show you electricity plans that match your usage.
There isn’t one provider in Victoria that is better than the rest. You should start by asking yourself what you need from an energy plan and provider. Do you need the flexibility of a variable-rate plan? Or, is having a 100% green energy plan important to you? If you have solar panels, it could also be important for your provider to offer buyback incentives. Once you determine your energy needs, you can filter on our marketplace to narrow down your options.
