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 | 18.7¢ | 18.7¢ | $93.44 | $1,121.28 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 17.9¢ | 17.9¢ | $178.55 | $2,142.60 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 17.5¢ | 17.4¢ | $348.76 | $4,185.12 |

- Energy charge
- 11.237¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits

- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- AEP Central delivery charges
