    Comparing TXU vs Reliant by Types of Plans Offered

    Both TXU and Reliant Energy offer a variety of plans, some of which employ gimmicks to entice customers. These gimmicks can sometimes end up costing you more in the long run due to hidden fees and seasonal pricing changes.

    • Reliant Energy: Offers 28 plans based on common gimmicks, including Base Fee, Bullseye, and Free Weekends plans.
    • TXU Energy: Offers Base Fee and Free Nights plans, all of which come with gimmicks.

    In contrast, BKV Energy offers simple, no-gimmick plans, including Simple Fixed Rate, Solar Buyback, and 100% Renewable Energy plans.

    Compare Plan Pricing Between Reliant & TXU

    Pricing in your actual area may differ, but for comparison sake we look at pricing in the Houston area:

    • One of Reliant Energy‘s lower priced plans is the Reliant Power on 36 Plan plan, priced at 15.9¢ per kWh for a home using an average of 2,000 kWh per month. This is a Base Fee type plan, which is a gimmick plan.
    • One of TXU Energy‘s lower priced plans is the Solar Buyback Match 36 plan, priced at 16.3¢ per kWh for a home using 1,000 kWh per month on average. This is a Base Fee plan, another gimmick plan.

    In contrast, BKV Energy offers the Bluebonnet 13 plan, a simple (no gimmicks) plan priced at 14.6¢ cents per kWh based on an average of 2,000 kWh usage per month.

In contrast, BKV Energy strives to bring honesty and simplicity to the communities and people it serves, offering transparent pricing, clear terms, and no hidden fees or surprise charges. Make the right choice for your energy needs and choose BKV Energy for a fair and honest energy experience.

    When electricity providers offer extremely low prices, there’s usually a catch…

    1

    Many providers offer plans that seem cheap when you enroll, but end up costing a lot more later on.

    2

    If you don’t consider changes in your home’s seasonal usage, you could end up paying more…much more.

    3

    A simple fixed rate plan is most often the safest bet. We can help you choose the right one!

    Learn What Marketing Tactics TXU and Reliant Commonly Use in Their Plans

    Before you select an electricity plan, it’s important to understand more about how the different types of plans offered by providers like TXU and Reliant work. First, you need to know how to identify a Gimmicky Plan.

    Standard electricity plans are those you can trust to offer just what they say, without tricks that mislead you about the ultimate price you’ll pay on your electrical bill. However, many providers use “Gimmicky” plans to grab your attention. The prices seem very cheap at first glance, but when you dive a bit deeper you may end up paying much more than you’d expect!

    Examples of standard plans include Simple Fixed Rate, Variable Rate, Solar Buyback, and 100% Renewable Energy plans – but only if they don’t come with certain gimmicks attached. Gimmicky plans typically include “Bullseye” Plans, plans with a Base Fee, EV Charging plans, plans that offer Bill Credits, and Free Nights or Free Weekends.

    Let’s see how Reliant Energy and TXU Energy plans stack up, and what types each company offers currently…

    Standard “No Gimmicks” Plans

    The table below shows what types of “standard” plans – plans with no gimmicks – both TXU and Reliant offer currently. Check back often, as we keep this data updated daily. You’ll note that BKVE only offers non-gimmick, standard plans to our customers. (Updated 04/25/25)
    Provider / Type of Plan TXU RELIANT BKVE

    A Simple Fixed Rate plan is a fixed rate plan that has no other gimmicks associated with it (see Gimmick Plans below).

    11 Plans:
    TXU offers 11 Fixed Rate plans, but none of them are “simple” as they have either a base fee gimmick attached.
    18 Plans:
    Reliant offers 18 Fixed Rate plans, but none of them are “simple” as they have either a base fee or bullseye gimmick attached.

    TXU does not currently offer Solar Buyback plans. Reliant does not currently offer Solar Buyback plans.

    BKV Energy may be offering Solar Buyback plans in the future – if it’s best for our customers!

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Variable Rate

    The price you pay per kilowatt-hour for electricity may be determined by the market or other factors considered by the retail energy supplier. Since the market cost of electricity changes frequently, your rates could too.

    TXU does not currently offer Variable Rate plans. Reliant does not currently offer Variable Rate plans.

    BKV Energy doesn’t offer Variable Rate plans because changing market conditions can lead to extremely volatile energy bills. To help you save, we only offer simple fixed rate plans.

At BKVE, we don’t offer any plans with gimmicks so you know what you’re getting the day you sign up! (Updated 04/25/25)
    Provider / Type of Plan TXU RELIANT BKVE
    Free Nights

    Free nights plans are gimmicky because your daytime rate can be 5 to 10 cents higher per kWh compared to a simple fixed rate plan. This creates much higher energy bills during the summer in Texas.

    Learn More
    2 Plans:
    TXU has 2 plans that use the Free Nights gimmick.
    • Free Nights & Solar Days 12 (8 pm)
    • Free Nights & Solar Days 24 (8 pm)

    • Reliant Truly Free Nights 100% Solar 12 plan
    No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky free nights plans because most Texans end up spending more on electricity thanks to elevated daytime kWh rates, even with the free overnight prices.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Bullseye

    Bullseye plans lead with a low average price, but higher prices are hidden in the EFL. That means if you use the wrong amount of energy, your bill can skyrocket.

    TXU does not have plans with a Bullseye currently. 9 Plans:
    Reliant has 9 plans that use the Bullseye gimmick.
    • Basic Power 12

    • Reliant Clear Flex plan
    • Reliant Secure Advantage 12 plan
    • Reliant Secure Advantage 24 plan
    No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky bullseye plans because we prefer to offer a simple fixed plan where your kWh rate remains steady at all usage levels.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Base Fee

    Base fee plans are gimmicky because they add an extra charge to your bill regardless of how much energy you consume throughout the month.

    No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy plans don’t include base fees because instead of adding an extra fee to your bill, we only charge for the energy you actually consume.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Free Weekends

    Free weekends plans are gimmicky because they increase your price per kWh during the week to make up for your free usage over the weekend. Plus, the window of time your energy is “free” might be shorter than you expect.

    Learn More
    TXU does not have plans with a Free Weekends currently. 2 Plans:
    Reliant has 2 plans that use the Free Weekends gimmick.
    • Reliant Truly Free Weekends 100% Solar 12
    • Reliant Truly Free Weekends 100% Solar 12 plan
    No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky free weekends plans because most Texans end up spending more on energy due to elevated weekday kWh rates, even with free weekends.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Bill Credit

    Bill credit plans are gimmicky because they tease a reward when you use a specific amount of energy. When you don’t hit the mark, your rates go up significantly making your bill much higher.

    Learn More
    TXU does not have plans with a Bill Credit currently. 1 Plans:
    Reliant has 1 plans that use the Bill Credit gimmick.
    • Reliant Flextra Credits 24 plan
    No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer plans with bill credits because we prefer to offer a simple fixed rate instead. Most gimmicky bill credit plans come with higher kWh rates so you end up with a higher bill even with the credit applied.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    EV Charging

    EV charging plans are gimmicky because while you’re receiving lower cost or free energy at night to charge your vehicle, your kWh rate during the day is higher than average. 70% of your energy consumption occurs during the daytime, so your bill is higher even with those free hours.

    Learn More
    TXU does not have plans with a EV Charging currently. Reliant does not have plans with a EV Charging currently. No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky EV charging plans because most homeowners will end up spending more on electricity thanks to elevated daytime kWh rates, even with the free or reduced overnight prices.
