New Year, New Choices: Lubbock Residents Can Soon Choose Reliant Electricity Plans

—Starting on January 5, customers can shop plans to find the one that best suits their lifestyle and budget—

Today Reliant announced flexible, personalized electricity plans available to Lubbock residents beginning Friday, January 5. As areas of Lubbock transition to the Texas competitive electricity market, homeowners, renters and businesses will be able to choose their retail electricity provider and an electricity plan that best suits their lifestyle and budget.

“Reliant is thrilled customers in Lubbock will now have the opportunity to choose their provider, and we’re looking forward to offering our personalized plans, award-winning digital experience and customer service, and meaningful community engagement,” said Elizabeth Killinger, president of Reliant. “Reliant is the electricity provider Texans trust. We have been active in the Lubbock community since 2017 and are ready to serve customers. Our team is honored to be a part of this exciting and long-awaited transition.”

Making power personal through unique plans

Reliant is committed to educating Lubbock residents about their new options and how to best select an electricity provider and plan. For more than two decades, Reliant has been trusted as a leading electricity provider in Texas, committed to powering and supporting people and communities.

Lubbock residents will soon be able to choose from a variety of secure fixed-rate plans or flexible month-to-month plans. New options may include time-of-use plans, which allow customers to save on electricity cost based on the time of day electricity is used, such as free nights, free weekends or free highest-use days.

Reliant’s introductory electricity plans for Lubbock residential customers will include:

• Flextra Credits plan: With this plan, customers will automatically enjoy free electricity on their two highest-use days each week, for up to eight days of free electricity per month. The plan also includes $75 in bill credits for customers to use when they like and the benefit of 100% solar electricity (no panels required). The plan adapts to each customer’s lifestyle, meaning they don’t need to plan their usage or adjust habits.
• Truly Free Nights with 100% Solar plan: Customers save every night with free electricity from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. This plan is automatically powered by 100% solar energy (no panels required).
• Learn and Conserve plan: Customers who sign up for this plan enjoy a fixed-price plan with a 24-month term and receive a $249 Google Nest Learning Thermostat, perfectly complementing Reliant’s energy management tools.
• Clear Flex plan: Customers who want a simple electricity plan with no contract can sign up for this offer.
• Secure plans: These straightforward plans include price protection for the length of the customer’s contract term.
