Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Lorena was founded in 1881 as a railroad town along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, originally named after the popular Civil War ballad 'Lorena.' The town served as a crucial shipping point for cotton and grain from the surrounding Blackland Prairie, with the railroad bringing prosperity and growth to what had been open farmland just years before.

RECENT

In 2020, Lorena completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic downtown district with new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping. The project also included the restoration of several 1890s-era buildings and the creation of a new community plaza that hosts farmers markets and festivals throughout the year.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Lorena was home to legendary Texas high school football coach Gordon Wood during his early career in the 1940s. Wood later became one of the most successful high school football coaches in American history, winning 396 games and nine state championships, but he always credited his time in Lorena as foundational to developing his coaching philosophy.

DID YOU KNOW

Lorena is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in Central Texas, established in 1883 and still serving customers today. The store still has its original wooden floors, tin ceiling, and vintage cash register, and locals joke that you can buy everything from penny candy to farm equipment under one roof, just like in the 1800s.

CULTURAL

Every October, Lorena hosts the annual 'Lorena Leopard Festival' celebrating their high school mascot with a unique twist—the festival features a leopard costume contest where residents compete in elaborate spotted outfits. The tradition started in 1995 when the school adopted the leopard mascot, making Lorena one of the few Texas towns with a big cat as their symbol rather than the typical longhorns or eagles.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Lorena

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Determining how much energy you will use in a month is the best way to shop for power in Lorena. Why is this important?

The "price per kWh" you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much electricity you consume each 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 ordered.

Fortunately, there's a better way to choose your energy rate.

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

Better yet, 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 best way to determine the perfect electricity rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in a few seconds.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers to guide you step-by-step to the electricity plan that's best for your home's consumption.

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

We then help you order your plan with your chosen electricity company without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you should know your expected or historical usage before choosing the best 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 energy provider 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 Lorena: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Lorena, 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 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 will be able to 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 Lorena

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

Your existing energy provider will generally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not act, 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 electricity companies.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don't have to call 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 decide to switch, your new energy company will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous company.

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

You can pick any date up to 14 days before your contract's end date without an "early termination" fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you're still under contract, find out 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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the best price.

You will want to gather your historical usage for the last 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.
