Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Victoria was founded in 1824 by Martín De León, making it one of the first organized colonies in Texas and the only one established by a Mexican empresario. De León named the town after Guadalupe Victoria, the first president of Mexico, and it became a crucial settlement bridging Mexican and Anglo cultures during the early days of Texas colonization.

RECENT

In 2017, Victoria made national headlines when Hurricane Harvey brought devastating floods to the city, with some areas receiving over 20 inches of rain in 24 hours. The community's remarkable recovery effort led to the construction of new flood mitigation systems and earned Victoria recognition as one of Texas's most resilient cities in disaster preparedness planning.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Victoria is the birthplace of Red Adair, the legendary oil well firefighter who inspired the 1968 John Wayne movie 'Hellfighters.' Adair became world-famous for extinguishing dangerous oil well fires, including putting out the Kuwaiti oil fires after the Gulf War, and his company's headquarters remained in nearby Houston throughout his career.

DID YOU KNOW

Victoria is home to the Texas Zoo, which houses the world's only breeding pair of white alligators outside of Louisiana. These rare leucistic alligators, named Pearl and Snowball, are not albinos but have a genetic condition that makes their skin white while keeping their eyes blue, making them incredibly rare with fewer than 100 known to exist worldwide.

CULTURAL

Victoria proudly calls itself the 'Crossroads of South Texas' because it sits at the intersection of major highways connecting Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Corpus Christi. The city celebrates this unique position with an annual Crossroads Music Festival that showcases the diverse musical influences flowing through the region, from conjunto and country to blues and rock.

Texas's energy market was deregulated by the state legislature in 2002. A deregulated market means that state residents aren't saddled with a single energy provider. Instead, they can find up to 100 retail providers for their homes.

How does deregulation help you? These providers compete for new customers by offering low rates and other incentives. This competition could mean hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings each year.

This is a good time to shop for a new electricity provider. Compare Power makes it possible to sort through hundreds of available plans in minutes.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Victoria

What's the first step toward inexpensive energy? Know your usage!

Your monthly usage rate is key when shopping for cheap electricity in Victoria. Why?

Energy companies often use a standard rate to calculate quotes. This works if you use that exact amount of energy, but you might be surprised by a large bill if your monthly rate is higher than the quote.

Compare Power offers a better way to comparison shop for quotes.

Knowing your monthly usage pattern for the previous year is a good way to find an accurate quote. This information allows Compare Power to craft customized quotes to your needs. Each quoted rate includes the base price, fees, and taxes that might not be available through other shopping tools.

You can find a plan and complete the switch with your zip code and usage numbers without leaving Compare Power.

Without your usage, take your best guess

A good guess of your anticipated monthly usage in a new Victoria home is the best alternative to exact figures.

While it works better to have exact numbers, an educated guess is better than selecting the first plan you see.

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

Moving to Victoria: Setting up Electricity

Victoria is known throughout the state as a crossroads to major Texas cities, including Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. The city also offers a launch pad to the Gulf of Mexico. Victoria is also home to the Texas Zoo, Theatre Victoria, and the Victoria Ballet.

Important: First-time homeowners or residents in Victoria who haven't set up electrical plans should search for the previous year's usage rate.

Compare Power will use your usage rate to crunch the numbers on available electrical plans in Victoria.

If you don't have access to these numbers, ask the previous owner to help with your research. With a review of previous bills, you can save hundreds of dollars each year in electrical savings.

Note: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can't obtain a usage history. Utilize Compare Power's "Help Me Choose" tool when you enter your zip code. You can sign up instantly for a plan once you've found the right provider.

Switching Electricity Companies in Victoria

It is a good idea to check for new rates at least 60 days before your current contract's end so you can anticipate a plan switch. Your current provider may use your contract's end to raise the price per kWh, so you should take advantage of the deregulated market in Victoria.

Switching from your old provider is easy once you find your next energy provider. Your new provider will handle the cancellation process and handle new paperwork in minutes. Your electricity will remain on throughout the process because the wires and poles don't change hands.

State law allows Victoria residents to cancel their contracts within 14 days of expiration without paying penalties. Savings found on Compare Power can potentially offset any penalties triggered by early cancellation.
