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 | 20.0¢ | 20.0¢ | $99.82 | $1,197.84 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 18.7¢ | 18.7¢ | $186.64 | $2,239.68 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 18.0¢ | 18.0¢ | $360.27 | $4,323.24 |
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
- 10.934¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- None. Nothing to qualify for and nothing to lose.
- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- TNMP delivery charges
- $8 a month plus 6.4300¢ 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
- None — this is a month-to-month plan.
