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 | 21.3¢ | 21.6¢ | $107.98 | $1,295.76 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 8.0¢ | 8.3¢ | $83.40 | $1,000.80 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 13.9¢ | 14.2¢ | $284.24 | $3,410.88 |
