Reliant Power Savings 12 or 24: A classic fixed-rate plan

Reliant’s Power Savings plan offers fixed-rate terms of either 12 or 24 months. As long as your monthly usage is at least 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), you’ll receive a $50 monthly bill credit. You’ll have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) of $150 or $295 (depending on your term length) if you cancel before the contract ends.

Reliant Power Savings 2,000 kWh 12 or 24: Best for high-usage customers

Reliant offers excellent options for customers who tend to use large amounts of energy. The Power Savings 2,000 kWh 12 and 24 plans are fixed for one or two years and offer a $150 bill credit when you use more than 2,000 kWh per month. As with other Reliant Energy electric plans, you’ll pay an ETF of $150 or $295 if you cancel early.

Reliant Basic Power 12 or 24: Stable fixed rates for medium-sized homes

Reliant’s Basic Power plan is another good choice for medium-usage customers. The plan is available for one or two years, and your base charge is waived if you use over 1,000 kWh per month. The same ETF applies — $150 for 12-month plans and $295 for 24-month plans.
