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 | 15.4¢ | 15.5¢ | $77.39 | $928.68 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 15.1¢ | 15.2¢ | $151.46 | $1,817.52 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 14.9¢ | 15.0¢ | $299.58 | $3,594.96 |
