I switched last week from Reliant to Green Mountain Energy. Not sure how it will be in the long run but hopefully it will be cheaper and more sustainable (ie for the planet).
This was prompted by a 577$ bill from Reliant. For over 3800 kwh (it was mostly June consumption) the average price was over 0.14 / kwh. I signed up for a 6 month fixed rate plan with green mountain for (I think) 0.109 / kwh. Its also supposed to be "100% renewable" whatever that means. I wonder what would happen if everyone (or everyone in Texas where the switch is very easy) suddenly signed up for a 100% renewable plan -- would the coal and natural gas fired plants just be shut down? (I doubt it -- there's still the industrial and municipal/government demand).
Also I was supposed to get a 100$ gift card for signing up (or maybe it was 50 I cant recall) but I havent seen any sign of it.
Will try to update once I get a bill from green mountain.
