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 | 21.5¢ | 21.5¢ | $107.40 | $1,288.80 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 8.2¢ | 8.2¢ | $81.79 | $981.48 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 14.1¢ | 14.0¢ | $280.58 | $3,366.96 |
