This plan's 12-month term would run roughly November 2026 to October 2027.
Kilowise read this plan's own Fact Sheet formula as an all-in $-0.10/month fixed charge (REP base charge plus TDU delivery, combined) plus 12.359¢/kWh (REP energy charge plus TDU delivery, combined), the same formula behind the estimate above. A negative fixed charge isn't an error: it means a monthly credit (often an autopay or paperless-billing discount) outweighs the base and delivery fixed charges combined, so this plan starts each month ahead before any usage is even counted. It has no usage-threshold credits, so no bill-credit cliff.
Among the 152 fixed-rate CenterPoint plans available right now, this one's rate is in the cheapest quarter. Compared at each plan's price across a range of household usage, not at one point a bill credit could be tuned around.
