How the average price per kWh is calculated

Reliant fees + TDSP fees ÷ Your total monthly usage = Average price per kWh
Reliant Fees

Usage charge per billing cycle if usage is below 1000 kWh

The total amounts assessed by a Transmission Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) for the delivery of electricity to a customer over poles, wires and other TDSP facilities, not including discretionary charges.
Small leaks can add up to many gallons of water and dollars wasted each month
Use water-saving devices
Installing lower-flow faucets, showerheads, toilets and urinals can help save water
Install an insulation blanket on water heaters
Recommended for water heaters seven years of age or older – along with insulating the first three feet of the heated water "out" pipe on both old and new units
If buying new, purchase the most efficient water heater
In areas of infrequent use, consider tankless water heaters to reduce standby storage costs and waste
Set water temperature only as hot as needed
A slightly lower temperature can help prevent scalds and save energy (check local codes for specific temperatures)
Practice xeriscaping by using plants native to your climate
Look into plants native to your climate that require less watering and have better pest resistance. If local code allows, consider diverting "gray water" for irrigation.
