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 | 17.8¢ | 17.8¢ | $88.90 | $1,066.80 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 17.0¢ | 16.9¢ | $169.48 | $2,033.76 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 16.5¢ | 16.5¢ | $330.62 | $3,967.44 |
What is actually in this plan
The fine print, in plain English
- Base charge
- $5 every month before you use any electricity at all. Over a year that is $60.
- Energy charge
- 10.470¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- None. Nothing to qualify for and nothing to lose.
- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- AEP North delivery charges
- $3.33 a month plus 5.6443¢ 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.
- Early termination fee
- $150 if you leave before the end of the 12-month term. Worth comparing against what you would save by switching.
