Which of these electric plans should I get?
I live in East Texas, and I’ve decided to go with Reliant Energy. I’ve had nothing but trouble from TXU. -_-
Anyways, I live in a one-bedroom flat (second story above a hair salon) by myself. I’m not sure which would be better, the Reliant Energy Monthly eFlex Plan, or the Reliant PowerTracker?
I don’t plan on staying in this location for over a year (probably another 9-10 months) so I have to be able to cancel the service by then. Thanks in advance!

Go with the power tracker. Not only is the monthly rate lower per kw, but natural gas is actually getting cheaper and cheaper. Thus, the monthly basis for the usage charge should drop accordingly and you’ll appreciate the savings. You don’t need the flex plan—you’re looking to spend the least necessary while preserving the right to cancel at will without penalty.
