What is ElectroShare?
What is ElectroShare?
ElectroShare is an annual customer loyalty payout distributed each November as a “thank you” to our customers who are BKV Energy Plus subscribers. BKV Energy Plus subscribers are customers on Bluebonnet or Bluebonnet Green plans that meet all eligibility requirements, and customers on Daisy, Verbena, or Lantana plans who are paying the BKV Energy Plus monthly add-on.
How does ElectroShare work?
Each November, we distribute a tenure-based customer loyalty payout to BKV Energy Plus subscribers. Eligible customers receive an email notification with a link to retrieve and activate their payout in the form of a VISA digital gift card.
Why did BKV Energy create ElectroShare?
We created ElectroShare as a way to thank and reward our customers subscribed to BKV Energy Plus for their loyalty. We know there are many choices out there when it comes to home electricity in Texas, so it means a lot to us that you’ve decided to switch and stick with BKV Energy.
How is ElectroShare different from a typical loyalty program or rebate?
ElectroShare differs from typical loyalty programs or rebates because it grows with your tenure. The longer you stay with us, the more you get paid.

What factors determine my ElectroShare payout amount?
Your ElectroShare payout is determined by the number of months of consecutive service you have with BKV Energy. Payouts are also influenced by the number of active and eligible accounts you have. Additionally, you must meet all eligibility requirements to receive a payout.
Will my ElectroShare payout increase the longer I stay with BKV Energy?
Yes, the longer you stay with BKV Energy, the more you will receive.
Is there a cap on how much I can receive?
There is no limit on how much you could potentially receive.
Are ElectroShare payouts the same for every customer?
No. Customers with longer service tenure will receive more than customers who have not been with us as long. Additionally, customers with multiple active and eligible accounts will receive more than those with one active and eligible account.
How is ElectroShare calculated for each eligible customer?
After we determine the total payout amount, we calculate each customer’s individual payout by following this process:
- Customers with multiple eligible accounts will receive $10 per additional account. For example, a customer with 3 accounts will receive $20. The sum of these additional account distributions is subtracted from the total payout.
- Next, we calculate the total months of tenure across all eligible customers. For example, if we had only 5 customers who had each been customers for 12 months, there would be 60 total months of tenure.
- The total payout (less the additional account distributions from step 1) is divided by the total months of tenure.
- Each customer then receives the amount from step 3 multiplied by their months of tenure (plus any additional account distributions from step 1).
We retain the right to adjust the calculation methodology at any time at our sole discretion.
