This plan could save you money, but there’s a catch. Let’s break it down.

Plan Pros & Cons
What’s Good:
- Big savings when you hit the target
- 100% renewable energy
- 60-day guarantee
- Rate won’t change for a year
Watch Out For:
- Must hit exactly 1000 kWh
- High rates if you miss the target
- Need to watch your usage
- $150 fee to cancel early
The Bottom Line
If your home regularly uses around 1000 kWh each month, you could save about $40 compared to most Texans.
But you’ll need to monitor your usage closely —running the AC an extra hour or doing an extra load of laundry could cost you the entire savings.
