Solar Savings Rate

Perfect for: Someone who wants 100 percent renewable energy without the upfront cost or long-term commitment of installing solar panels, or who physically can’t install solar panels on their home.

With CoServ’s new Solar Savings rate, anyone can buy 100 percent solar electricity without any solar panels on the roof.

There’s no upfront cost or long-term commitment and all Members are eligible—even renters who don’t have their own roof to put solar panels on, such as apartment residents.  

CoServ’s new Solar Savings Rate is competitive with our Standard Residential Rate that we’ve always offered—the biggest difference is that it supports 100 percent renewable energy throughout Texas.

PCRF: A Power Cost Recovery Factor (PCRF) allows CoServ to adjust for changes in wholesale energy costs. Because wholesale costs can fluctuate from month to month, CoServ uses the PCRF to calculate your bill. When our wholesale power costs go up, the PCRF increases, and vice versa. The PCRF is either subtracted or added to the base rate to calculate your bill. We do not markup our wholesale energy costs for profit. For additional details, see Section 203.1 of the tariff.

SCRF: The Securitized Charges Recovery Factor (SCRF) is used to calculate amounts that CoServ must recover from Customers to repay and administer the securitized bonds issued by CoServ under Texas Senate Bill 1580. The proceeds of these bonds were used to pay qualified costs and expenses relating to Winter Storm Uri in February 2021. At least every six months, the amount that is charged on a per kWh basis will be reviewed, and adjusted as needed, to ensure CoServ is collecting the appropriate amounts. For additional details, see Section 203.2 of the tariff. Visit CoServ.com/Brazos for more information.
