Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Kenedy was founded in 1882 and named after Mifflin Kenedy, a legendary steamboat captain who became one of the largest landowners in Texas history. Kenedy partnered with Richard King to establish the famous King Ranch, and his own Kenedy Ranch once encompassed over 400,000 acres across South Texas, making him one of the wealthiest men in 19th-century America.

RECENT

In 2019, Kenedy experienced a significant economic boost when several oil and gas companies expanded their operations in the Eagle Ford Shale formation beneath the city. This development brought new jobs and increased property values, while the city invested in infrastructure improvements including road repairs and upgraded water systems to support the growing industrial activity.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Kenedy was the birthplace of John Nance Garner IV, who served as the 32nd Vice President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1941. Known as 'Cactus Jack,' Garner famously described the vice presidency as 'not worth a bucket of warm spit,' and his family home in nearby Uvalde became a significant political gathering place during the New Deal era.

DID YOU KNOW

Kenedy sits directly on top of one of the most productive sections of the Eagle Ford Shale, making it one of the wealthiest small towns per capita in Texas due to mineral rights payments. Many longtime residents who own land have become millionaires overnight from oil and gas royalties, leading to the unusual sight of luxury cars parked outside modest farmhouses throughout the area.

CULTURAL

Kenedy hosts the annual Karnes County Fair, which has been running for over 75 years and features one of the last remaining authentic county fair livestock auctions in South Texas. The event draws visitors from across the region who come to experience traditional ranch culture, including competitive cattle judging, rodeo events, and the famous 'Ranch Hand Breakfast' served at dawn featuring eggs, bacon, and biscuits cooked over mesquite fires.

How to find the best energy plan in Kenedy

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much energy you will use monthly is the ideal way to shop for power in Kenedy. Why should you care?

The rate you see electricity companies advertising is 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 change according to how much power you use 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 energy provider.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing rates with the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the lowest rate.

Better still, if you have a year of usage history for your home, 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 best way to discover the perfect energy rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and assisting you step-by-step with the energy plan that's best for your home's consumption.

We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges, so you'll know precisely where your money is going and what to anticipate on your bill.

We then help you in enrolling with your chosen power provider without ever having to leave our website.

The takeaway here is you should know your expected or historical usage before ordering 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 you're the owner of 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 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 Kenedy: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Kenedy, 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: If you can't obtain a usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize our "Help Me Choose" tool when you enter your zip code below, and we'll help you evaluate your home's usage.

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it's time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Kenedy

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

Your existing electricity company will normally raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you do not take action, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy 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 switch, your new energy company will handle everything for you, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Kenedy 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 electricity companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early cancellation" penalty. Texas law protects you here.

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're ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest 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 will need to collect the usage history for the past 12 months.
