Reliant Energy Plans

Not sure about that but I know you are paying way to much for electricity.
I used to be on Reliant. Switched to TXU. Electric bill dropped over $100/month. No contracts either.
Currently I pay 9.3 cents per kw/hour

Are you willing to look outside of Reliant? If so you could do a lot better. The 9.5c plan you are looking at will vary (and only in the up direction I suspect). I changed from Reliant to StarTex, it has saved me close to $1K over the 2+ years I have had them. Reliant will do whatever it can to raise your rates.

Bingo. That is who I picked.

They wanted a $350 deposit because they did a "soft credit check" and I have a freeze on all three credit companies and it wouldn't go through. I decided heck with it and unfroze all three.

I don't owe anybody a cent and figured I wouldn't need any credit checks but this is the second time I have ran in to this situation.

I am going to wait until next week and go online and sign up with them on a 1 year plan at 9.6c.

I had been with HL&P and Realiant for over 40 years and they are like AT&T in that they never try to do the right thing until you get ready to leave them.

My brother has been with StarTex for over 3 years and has been real happy.

Thanks for the input.

We lucked out and got a 14 month lock with 10.4 cents per kWh with Reliant and we were getting jacked 15 cents from TXU which we've had for 5 years and they didn't want to compare the price and keep us.

I think you will be happy. They kind of remind me of the Southwest Airlines of the Texas Energy market. They are no frills and provide a financial reasonable alternative. When it was time to re-up my contract they provided one with better terms than my previous one. I saw somewhere that they had one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in our area.

They got the 2010 Pennacle Award from the BBB.
