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 | 11.6¢ | 11.6¢ | $58.07 | $696.84 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 11.2¢ | 11.2¢ | $112.08 | $1,344.96 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 11.0¢ | 11.0¢ | $220.10 | $2,641.20 |
What is actually in this plan
The fine print, in plain English
- Base charge
- None. You pay only for what you use, plus your utility’s delivery charges.
- Energy charge
- 4.781¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- None. Nothing to qualify for and nothing to lose.
- Minimum usage fee

- Oncor delivery charges
- $4.06 a month plus 6.0209¢ per kilowatt hour, added on top. This is your utility’s charge for the poles and wires and is the same whichever retailer you choose.
