At Reliant, we embrace the responsibility that comes with providing a critical service – and we prepare accordingly. Our robust and comprehensive business continuity plan ensures that during extreme circumstances, like those caused by the novel Coronavirus pandemic, we can continue to seamlessly deliver the electricity every Texan needs.
