Many providers, including Reliant Energy, require a deposit when setting up service. Providers base their deposit requirements on your credit score.

If you want to avoid paying a deposit, enter your ZIP code on this page and filter for all credit approved plans to explore no-deposit options in your area.
If you cancel your Reliant Energy plan before your contract expires, you’ll incur an early termination fee (ETF). Reliant Energy charges $150 for 12-month plans and $295 for plans with longer contracts. If you are canceling your contract because you’re moving outside of Reliant’s service area, you won’t have to pay an ETF as long as you submit proof of a change in address.
