Texas Electricity Providers Give Help

With oil and natural gas prices climbing, it looks like we're all in for one hot Summer. Naturally, there are some consumers growing concerned with the way that costs are continuing to rise, especially as the price of cooling a house during the summer looms. Fortunately for Texas electricity users, companies like Reliant™ and TXU are stepping in to help seniors and low-income households during the Summer months.

Apparently, TXU said recently that for the months of July, August and September, it won't be turning off anyone's electricity. Rather, customers will work out a payment plan of some kind in order to continue receiving their power. Likewise, Reliant™ "says it's calling a moratorium on disconnecting power from July 1st through September for critical care, low income and senior citizens or low-income customers".

While offering deferred payment options can be common for some electricity providers, it's not every day that you'll see companies offer a moratorium for several months, along with some heavy discounts for low-income households.

To find out if you or someone you know is eligible for these kinds of savings, be sure to call your provider directly.
