This plan's 3-month term would run roughly September to November 2026, an estimated $340 over that window. Your rate isn't locked past then. The yearly cost figure annualizes the rate so plans of different lengths compare directly; after the term you would re-shop or move to a month-to-month rate.

Kilowise read this plan's own Fact Sheet formula as an all-in $4.90/month fixed charge (REP base charge plus TDU delivery, combined) plus 9.881¢/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 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.
