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 | 18.1¢ | 18.1¢ | $90.53 | $1,086.36 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 5.2¢ | 5.2¢ | $52.01 | $624.12 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 11.2¢ | 11.3¢ | $224.95 | $2,699.40 |
