The published comparison points
Checking our arithmetic against theirs
Power to Choose makes every retailer publish an average price at exactly 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kilowatt hours a month. Those are the three numbers we recompute from the fact label; when ours land on theirs we know we have read the label correctly. They assume flat usage every month, which is why they differ from the seasonal figures above.
| Usage | They advertise | We compute | Monthly bill | A year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 kWh a month | 13.3¢ | 13.2¢ | $66.11 | $793.32 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 12.4¢ | 12.3¢ | $123.17 | $1,478.04 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 12.0¢ | 11.9¢ | $237.28 | $2,847.36 |
What is actually in this plan
The fine print, in plain English
- Base charge
- $5 every month before you use any electricity at all. Over a year that is $60.
- Energy charge
- 5.390¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- None. Nothing to qualify for and nothing to lose.
- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- Oncor delivery charges
- $4.06 a month plus 6.0209¢ per kilowatt hour, added on top. This is your utility’s charge for the poles and wires and is the same whichever retailer you choose.
- Early termination fee
- $200 if you leave before the end of the 12-month term. Worth comparing against what you would save by switching.
