Before you sign up for an electricity plan, we want to make sure you have the information you need to choose the one that’s best for you. No matter what term length you choose, our plans are designed to move with you – so there’s never a Reliant fee to transfer your plan to your new address. Plus, you get to keep the same locked-in price. Below is a breakdown of some of the types of plans we offer.
With a fixed rate electricity plan, the price you pay for electricity remains the same each month. The price will only change due to factors beyond your provider's control, such as changes in fees from the utility company (TDSP) or regional administrative fees. These types of plans typically involve contracts that can last anywhere from three to 36 months. They’re great for both homeowners and renters since you can transfer your plan to your new home if you move. Best of all, the security of a locked-in price moves with you.
Variable price plans are often month-to-month contracts with no cancellation fees. Each month, the energy charge used to calculate your bill can fluctuate, often (but not always) by no more than a defined percentage related to the previous month's price. This type of plan benefits customers who are willing to compromise on not knowing exactly what their price will be for the added flexibility of a shorter plan term.
A prepaid electricity plan allows you to pay for electricity in advance, with no deposit and no long-term contract. You decide how much electricity you want to pay for, purchase it in-store, online or through the Reliant app, and get alerts when your balance is running low. With no contract and the ability to purchase electricity on a daily basis, this type of plan keeps you in complete control of your electricity budget at all times.
A time-of-use plan offers you the ability to save on the cost of electricity based on the time or day the electricity is being used. No electricity charge on the weekends or no charge during certain hours of the day are some of the most common types of time-of-use plans offered. If you aren't usually home during the day, or do most of your high electricity consumption tasks during the weekend, you may benefit from a time-of-use plan.
These incentive based plans reward you for being a Reliant customer. Depending on the plan, you have the opportunity to receive sports memorabilia, gift cards, bill credits, airline mile credits, donations made on your behalf to charities and more, simply for signing up for an electricity plan with Reliant.
Renewable energy plans are plans that provide you with electricity that is generated by a renewable energy source. It's a great way to support the environment, while also getting an electricity plan with a great price.
You must be within a Reliant service area to transfer your service and transfer within the same transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP). Flat Bill plans are excluded. TDSP connection fees and additional restrictions may apply.
The only circumstance in which your actual price can change is to reflect changes in transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) delivery charges, law or regulatory charges allowed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
