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 | 13.2¢ | 13.2¢ | $66.05 | $792.60 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 12.4¢ | 12.4¢ | $124.10 | $1,489.20 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 12.0¢ | 12.0¢ | $240.20 | $2,882.40 |
