Reliant Power Savings 12
A $75 credit makes the 1,000-kWh example look better than lower-use months. Power Savings 12 grants $75 when monthly usage reaches 1,000 kWh. Below that threshold the full credit disappears. The EFL has no supplier base charge, but its energy charge is separate from delivery and applies to all electricity used.

What goes into the bill
Oncor delivery was checked on October 23, 2026 against the delivery schedule updated October 4, 2026. The modeled delivery amounts are separate from the fixed supplier energy charge. These assumptions stay fixed in this dated analysis.
See what changes at the credit threshold
Each bar is one separate monthly bill. Compare the readings just below and at each threshold: using slightly more electricity can qualify for a credit that changes the bill sharply.

1,000 kWh on average is not 1,000 every month
Our standard seasonal example uses 12,000 kWh over twelve months. Its modeled annual cost is $2,145.35, equivalent to 17.88¢/kWh. It earns a usage credit in 5 months, with $375.00 in usage credits.
| Month | kWh | Credit | Cost |

| January | 1,010 | $75.00 | $137.09 |
| February | 890 | $0.00 | $187.37 |

The annual total sums unrounded monthly calculations; displayed monthly amounts are rounded to cents. Your usage, billing cycles, fees and future delivery charges can change the result.
Who should take a closer look
Compare your actual winter and shoulder-season readings with 1,000 kWh. Our seasonal year earns $375 in usage credits; a flat 1,000-kWh month repeated twelve times earns $900. Both use 12,000 kWh, but the credit difference is $525.
A recognizable provider name and a lower advertised price at one usage level do not establish a lower annual bill. This specific EFL lists 22% renewable content and a $150 early termination fee. Other Reliant offers can have different rules.
Read the contract’s cancellation conditions and exceptions. A fixed energy rate does not freeze delivery charges or other changes permitted by the contract.
