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 | 19.0¢ | 19.0¢ | $95 | $1,140 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 6.2¢ | 6.2¢ | $61.66 | $739.92 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 12.3¢ | 12.3¢ | $245 | $2,940 |
