John Kirkland, a spokesman for the co-op, said Reliant would replace Constellation Energy Group Inc. as supplier.

The Rayburn Country co-op will in turn resell the electricity and services to its five members, distribution co-ops serving more than 120,000 customers in 16 small Texas counties. The local cooperatives are Fannin County Electric Cooperative, FEC Electric Cooperative, Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative, Lamar County Electric Cooperative, and Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative.

Joe Bob Perkins, president and chief operating officer of the Reliant unit, said "This is a customized, 'full-requirements' package, which includes providing Rayburn more than 450megawatts of firm power, ancillary, and energy services including risk-management products."
