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 | 12.2¢ | 12.2¢ | $60.73 | $728.76 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 11.5¢ | 11.5¢ | $114.80 | $1,377.60 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 11.1¢ | 11.2¢ | $222.92 | $2,675.04 |

- Energy charge
- 5.656¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- None. Nothing to qualify for and nothing to lose.
- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- CenterPoint delivery charges
