About Laredo
What you're shopping for power in.
Laredo is the largest Texas city on the U.S.-Mexico border, the largest inland port in the U.S. by trade volume (with Nuevo Laredo across the river), and a major logistics hub.
Climate & bill pattern
Semi-arid South Texas climate — extremely hot summers (110°F not uncommon), mild winters.
Extreme summer heat (and lower humidity than Houston) makes AC load high but somewhat more efficient; bills can rival Houston's despite the smaller home sizes.
