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 | 15.3¢ | 15.3¢ | $76.45 | $917.40 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 11.5¢ | 11.5¢ | $114.57 | $1,374.84 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 12.3¢ | 12.3¢ | $245.82 | $2,949.84 |
