Can I Monitor TXU or Reliant Electricity Usage in Real Time?

Yes — if you're a TXU or Reliant customer, you can monitor your electricity usage in near real time using PowerAlert. Our app connects directly to your provider account (using the same login you already use), then tracks your daily usage and sends alerts when you're close to your monthly budget — no extra portals, no daily logins, no surprises.

How PowerAlert Works

Log in once using your TXU or Reliant “My Account” credentials (or any other provider)

PowerAlert securely connects to your usage data

Set a monthly energy budget — like $150 for August

We check your provider data daily

You get alerts when you’ve used 30%, 60%, 90%, or 100%, of your budget

We Use the Same Data — Just Made Simpler

TXU and Reliant, or any other provider already track your electricity usage. The difference? You have to log in to see it, check charts, and monitor your spending manually. PowerAlert takes the same data and turns it into simple, helpful alerts — so you can stay informed without logging in every day.

Track Usage Without Logging In Every Time

No need to check multiple dashboards

We sync daily with your provider

Usage alerts delivered on the app

Weekly summaries keep you on track

Works with TXU, Reliant, Gexa, and most ERCOT providers

Do I Need a Smart Meter?

You don’t need to install anything or own a smart meter device. If your provider shows your usage online, PowerAlert can access it. We simply use the credentials you already have to give you automated insights and proactive notifications.

FAQs

Does PowerAlert replace my TXU or Reliant account? No — we use your existing account to access your real usage data. We just help you track it automatically.

How often is my usage updated? We check your provider's data daily to give you up-to-date alerts.

Is PowerAlert free? Yes — there’s no subscription or hidden fees.

What if I rent? PowerAlert works great for renters too. As long as you pay the electric bill and can log in, you're good to go.
