This plan's 20-month term would run roughly November 2026 to June 2028, an estimated $3143 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 2-year plans in CenterPoint territory average about 14.0¢/kWh right now, roughly 0.6¢/kWh more than a typical 12-month plan (13.4¢/kWh), about $7/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 $47.89/month fixed charge (REP base charge plus TDU delivery, combined) plus 10.523¢/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 150 fixed-rate CenterPoint 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.
