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¢ | $100.20 | $1,202.40 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 7.6¢ | 7.6¢ | $76.35 | $916.20 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 13.9¢ | 13.9¢ | $278.64 | $3,343.68 |
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
- 14.208¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- $125 off your bill in months you use at least 1,000 kWh. $5 off your bill every month and only while you keep staying on autopay and paperless billing.
- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- 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.
- Early termination fee
- $20 if you leave before the end of the 24-month term. Worth comparing against what you would save by switching.
