This plan's Fact Sheet shows different prices than its PowerToChoose listing above, which usually means the Fact Sheet was just updated. Kilowise's estimate follows the Fact Sheet.
This plan's 36-month term would run roughly November 2026 to October 2029, an estimated $6885 over that window. Your rate isn't locked past then. The yearly cost figure annualizes the rate so plans of different lengths compare directly.
Around 3-year plans in Texas-New Mexico Power territory average about 15.9¢/kWh right now, roughly 0.9¢/kWh more than a typical 12-month plan (15.1¢/kWh), about $10/month more at a typical Texas household's usage. A longer contract locks your energy rate against increases; whether that premium pays off depends on where prices go. See how rate locks have paid off historically.
Kilowise read this plan's own Fact Sheet formula as an all-in $7.56/month fixed charge (REP base charge plus TDU delivery, combined) plus 16.761¢/kWh (REP energy charge plus TDU delivery, combined), the same formula behind the estimate above. It has no usage-threshold credits, so no bill-credit cliff.
Among the 146 fixed-rate Texas-New Mexico Power plans available right now, this one's rate is higher than most. A cheaper plan may still come out ahead even after any bill credits. Compared at each plan's price across a range of household usage, not at one point a bill credit could be tuned around.
