Average Billing

Stop worrying about your monthly bill by enrolling in average billing. We make it easy to manage your monthly budget by billing you an averaged amount each month, evening out the highs and lows of seasonal changes.
Average Billing helps you manage your monthly electricity budget by allowing you to pay an averaged amount every month instead of paying high amounts during high-usage months and paying low amounts in low-usage months. To calculate your electric bill, use our bill calculator.
Example of how Average Billing works
The deferred balance amount is the cumulative difference between your monthly Average Billing amount and what you would owe if you were not signed up for Average Billing. The deferred balance amount can be found on your monthly bill. If the bill amount is positive, 1/12 will be added to your bill. If the bill amount is negative, 1/12 will be subtracted from your bill. If you’re a new Average Billing customer, the deferred balance will begin in the second month. The deferred balance must be paid in full if you cancel Average Billing or change electricity providers.
If you remain with Reliant, your accumulated deferred balance will become due in full on your next invoice or payment arrangements can be made. If you leave Reliant, your accumulated deferred balance will become due in full immediately. If you have a credit due, that amount will be applied to your final bill with any remaining amount refunded afterward.
