How do I track my TARA ENERGY bill credit?+
TARA ENERGY applies a $125 credit when you use 1,000 kWh or more in a billing cycle. HitMyCredit reads your daily usage from SmartMeter Texas and tells you each day whether you're on pace to hit 1,000 kWh before your cycle ends.
What is the TARA ENERGY bill credit threshold?+
The threshold is 1,000 kWh per billing cycle. Hit it and you receive the $125 credit. Miss it by even 1 kWh and you lose the entire credit for that month.
What happens if I miss the TARA ENERGY bill credit?+
You lose the entire $125 credit — a swing of roughly $124.89 on your bill. Your full usage is billed at TARA ENERGY's standard rate with no offset.
Does TARA ENERGY warn me before I miss my credit?+
No. TARA ENERGY shows your usage but does not project whether you'll hit the threshold or alert you in advance. HitMyCredit does this automatically every day — for free.
Does the rate vary by utility territory (TDU)?+
Yes. TARA ENERGY offers plans in multiple utility territories in Texas — Oncor (DFW), CenterPoint (Houston), AEP Texas (South Texas), and TNMP. Rates differ per territory so the cliff effect amount varies. Use the TDU tabs above to see rates for your area.
