HISTORICAL

La Villa was founded in 1927 as a railroad town along the Missouri Pacific Railroad line in the Rio Grande Valley. The city was established during the great agricultural boom when the railroad brought irrigation and farming technology to transform the semi-arid region into fertile farmland, making it one of the youngest incorporated cities in Hidalgo County.

RECENT

In 2020, La Villa completed a major infrastructure improvement project that upgraded its water treatment facility and installed new water lines throughout the city. The $2.8 million project was funded through federal grants and has significantly improved water quality and pressure for residents, addressing issues that had persisted for decades.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

La Villa is the hometown of several notable figures in South Texas politics and education, including former state representative and educator Maria Elena Gonzalez. The small city has also produced multiple college graduates who have gone on to become successful doctors and lawyers serving the Rio Grande Valley region.

DID YOU KNOW

Despite having a population of only about 2,000 people, La Villa operates one of the most efficient municipal governments in Hidalgo County, with a city budget that consistently runs in the black. The city hall building also serves as the community center, library, and emergency operations center, making it one of the most multi-functional government buildings per capita in Texas.

CULTURAL

La Villa celebrates its agricultural heritage every fall with the annual Harvest Festival, featuring traditional Mexican folk dancing, local produce contests, and authentic Valley cuisine. The festival draws visitors from across the Rio Grande Valley and showcases the city's strong connection to both its farming roots and Mexican-American cultural traditions that define the border region.

How to find the best energy plan in La Villa

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing the amount of energy you will consume month-to-month is the best way to shop for electricity in La Villa. Why does this matter?

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

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you use in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective "price per kWh" different than what you observed when you enrolled.

Thankfully, there's a better way to choose your electricity company.

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

Better still, if you have 12 months 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 ideal way to find the ideal electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few moments.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and assisting you step-by-step with the energy plan that's best for your household's consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you'll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in signing up with your chosen electricity company without leaving our website.

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

If you don't know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy you will use 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 provider at a specific usage that isn't what you'll consume.

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

Moving to La Villa: Setting up Electricity

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

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 cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our "Help Me Choose" tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool can assess your home's projected electricity consumption.

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 length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in La Villa

Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower price every 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 significantly higher 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 company to cancel (no "break-up call")
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your power supply
  • It takes just minutes

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

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in La Villa 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early termination" fee. 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.

And even if you're well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching companies 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 understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest rate.

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.
