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 | 13.1¢ | 13.1¢ | $65.56 | $786.72 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 12.8¢ | 12.8¢ | $127.78 | $1,533.36 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 12.6¢ | 12.6¢ | $252.23 | $3,026.76 |

- Energy charge
