Veteran Energy Valor 12
A smaller bill credit still creates a sharp monthly threshold. Valor 12 subtracts $50 when a billing cycle exceeds 999 kWh. The wording matters: these examples use whole-kWh readings, where 999 does not qualify and 1,000 does. An annual average of 1,000 kWh does not guarantee twelve credits. The relatively high energy charge continues to apply after the credit is earned.
- Modeled annual cost
- $2,070.60 12,000 kWh across a seasonal year
- EFL advertised rate

All modeled figures use the researched energy rate and dated Oncor delivery charges. Taxes, assessments, optional services and conditional account fees are excluded. Delivery charges can change.

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.
Whole-kWh examples only. The EFL says “> 999 kWh.” These discrete points do not model fractional meter readings or a continuous credit boundary.

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 $2,070.60, equivalent to 17.25¢/kWh. It earns a usage credit in 5 months, with $250.00 in usage credits.
| Month | kWh | Credit | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 1,010 | $50.00 | $145.28 |
| February | 890 | $0.00 | $172.56 |
| March | 790 | $0.00 | $153.63 |
| April | 720 | $0.00 | $140.37 |
| May | 890 | $0.00 | $172.56 |
| June | 1,180 | $50.00 | $177.46 |
| July | 1,390 | $50.00 | $217.22 |
| August | 1,430 | $50.00 | $224.79 |
| September | 1,220 | $50.00 | $185.03 |

Who should take a closer look
Check the lowest readings in your actual history. Our seasonal example earns five usage credits, totaling $250. A home using exactly 1,000 kWh every month earns $600. The $350 difference comes entirely from when the same annual electricity use occurs.
The EFL lists 3% renewable content, with an optional upgrade during enrollment. Upgrade charges are excluded. Paperless communications and a valid email address are required. The cancellation fee falls as the contract runs down; leaving with ten months remaining would cost $200 before any applicable exception.
Read the contract’s cancellation conditions and exceptions. A fixed energy rate does not freeze delivery charges or other changes permitted by the contract.
Charges beyond electricity use
This provider was not covered by our July 2026 fee study. The EFL is not a complete list of account fees. Review the linked terms for late payments, returned payments, disconnection, deposits and other conditions; a missing fee list does not mean there are no fees.
These charges are not added to the modeled electricity costs. Deposits, taxes, TDU service fees and other contract conditions may also apply. Read the terms of service and the July 2026 hidden fee study.
