What “no minimum usage fee” means on a CenterPoint bill

A minimum-usage fee is a charge added in a month your usage falls below the floor the EFL sets. Plans on this list had no such fee detected on their EFL in any territory, which matters most to apartments and efficient homes in CenterPoint territory; a usage-based bill credit can still apply. See minimum usage fees explained.
