Our Assessment:

This is a "Bill Credit" plan, it includes a 14.5¢ per kWh energy charge, which is offset by a $50.00 bill credit if you use at least 1000kWh of energy per month. If you do not qualify for the bill credit, your bill could be larger than expected.

For a more predictable bill, you should choose a "Fixed Rate" plan.

Plan Renewal:

If you order this plan and start it today, you will be up for renewal 24 months from now in November of 2027.

Since this plan expires in November, you can take advantage of seasonally lower rates when you renew.

Electricity rates are generally highest from June through September.

    Our Assessment:

    This is a "Tiered Rate" plan, which means the energy charge will change depending on how much energy you use. You may pay a lower rate for the first 1000 kWh, and a higher rate per kWh if you use more than that. This could lead to unexpected larger bills if your energy usage crosses one of the tier thresholds

    For a more predictable bill, you should choose a "Fixed Rate" plan.

    Plan Renewal:

    If you order this plan and start it today, you will be up for renewal 12 months from now in November of 2026.

    Since this plan expires in November, you can take advantage of seasonally lower rates when you renew.

    Electricity rates are generally highest from June through September.

    Our Safe-Rate™ Score for this plan is considered Very Good.

    A higher Safe-Rate™ score means more predictable pricing and fewer surprises on your bill.

    The table below estimates what your average price per kWh would be for different monthly energy usage:

    TruBill™ Estimations:

    Using our TruBill™ algorithm, we estimate your monthly electricity bill based on typical home energy usage.

    Minimum and maximum bills reflect normal seasonal changes (summer AC vs. mild weather), and the average bill represents the midpoint across those seasonal differences.

    3000 kWh $470.04 $990.98 $547.00 $6,564.00

    Our Assessment:

    This is a "Tiered Rate" plan, which means the energy charge will change depending on how much energy you use. You may pay a lower rate for the first 1000 kWh, and a higher rate per kWh if you use more than that. This could lead to unexpected larger bills if your energy usage crosses one of the tier thresholds

    For a more predictable bill, you should choose a "Fixed Rate" plan.

    Plan Renewal:

    If you order this plan and start it today, you will be up for renewal 24 months from now in November of 2027.

    Since this plan expires in November, you can take advantage of seasonally lower rates when you renew.

    Electricity rates are generally highest from June through September.

    • Early Termination Fee: $295
    • Monthly Recurring Charge: $5.00
    • tiered-rate
    • 24 Months
    (Note: The Early Termination Fee will not be charged if you end your contract early because you are moving out.)

    Our Assessment:

    This is a "No Gimmicks" Fixed Rate plan which means you have a consistent energy charge of 11.4¢ per kWh no matter how much (or little) energy you use.

    You will have more predictable bill based solely on your usage.

    Reliant Plan Analysis

    Reliant Conservation 24 plan

    Our Rating:
    Plan Term: 24 Months
    Plan Type: Tiered Rate

    Relieant's Conservation 24 is a two year plan that encourages customers to use less energy. Customers often complain that electricity companies incent people to use more energy than less, and this plan actually gives those folks a legitimate choice to use less. The energy rates aren't all that great, but they're actually LOWER if users use less than 1,000 kWh of energy in a given month. The energy charge goes up when customers use more than 1k kWh, but not astronomically higher. Unlike most of Reliant's plans, this one does have a $5 a monthly recurring charge. As a 2 year plan it also has a $295 cancellation fee.

    Flat Rate that rewards less energy usage
    thumb_downCons:
    Not the lowest rate

    Reliant Basic Power 24 plan

    Our Rating:
    Plan Term: 24 Months
    Plan Type: Fixed Rate

    Reliant's Base Power 24 plan is a fairly straightforward electricity Plan. It's a 24 month plan, or two years, so it has a $295 cancellation fee. The Energy Charge is actually pretty low, definitely competitive with the current market. The only interesting thing is that it has a monthly recurring charge that changes depending on usage. If a customer uses less than 1,000 kWh a month, the charge is $9.99. If they use more than 1k kWh in a month, the base monthly charge is $0.00. It's a pretty good plan.
    thumb_upPros:
    Flat Rate, no Bill Surprises
    thumb_downCons:
    Sliding/Variable Monthly Usage Charge

    Reliant Power Savings 24 plan

    Our Rating:
    Plan Term: 24 Months
    Plan Type: Bill Credit

    Reliant's Power Savings 24 is a fairly solid plan. It has a $50 bill credit that kicks in at 1,000 kWh of usage, which brings a fairly high energy charge down to something pretty competitive. Granted, it's a bill credit, so using less than 1k, or way more than 2k kWh will still result in some pretty high bills. But for the sweet spot of small home owners, that use over 1k, but not too much, this is a great plan. It also has no monthly recurring charge, which is nice. Plan does run for 2 years, though, and has a $295 cancellation fee if you break your contract.
    thumb_upPros:
    Has a $50 bill credit, no monthly recurring charge.
    thumb_downCons:
    High Energy Charge, bad for apartments.
