—Shared passion for customer innovation and
energy efficiency drives collaboration—
Today Reliant is announcing a preferred partner agreement with
Google, positioning Reliant as the premier retail electricity
provider of Google Home and Nest products in Texas. This new,
powerful collaboration allows Reliant to offer a compelling new
suite of electricity plans paired with a full range of the latest
smart home innovations from Google and Nest.
The relationship pairs one of the lone star state’s largest
electricity providers with the nation’s leading connected home
brand, enabling consumers to take their home technology to the next
level.
“We are intent on bringing convenient solutions to our fellow
Texans,” said Elizabeth Killinger, president of Reliant and NRG
Retail. “By joining forces with home technology leaders like Google
and Nest that share our passion for innovation and customer
experience, we are delivering simple, proven, energy-saving and
home security technology to even more consumers across the
state.”
Reliant was the first retail electricity provider in Texas to
offer Nest products to its customers when Nest launched in 2010.
Fast forward eight years, Reliant has continued to be an innovative
pioneer by bringing customers a variety of offers that include
tools that help customers save money and better manage their energy
use. This is Reliant’s largest and most innovative collaboration
with Google and Nest to date.
With this partner agreement, Reliant will offer its electricity
customers the unique opportunity to enjoy the latest and greatest
smart home devices as part of their electricity plan. Plus, a new
set of Reliant voice commands using Google Assistant will work
seamlessly across all Google Home and Nest products to provide a
truly connected home experience.
“Long before digital assistants, voice commands and mobile apps
changed the way customers manage their energy, Reliant was focused
on innovative ways to meet the needs of our customers and their
continually evolving digital lifestyles. This effort is the latest
step in that journey,” said Scott Burns, head of innovation and
customer experience at Reliant.
