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 | 12.7¢ | 12.7¢ | $63.50 | $762 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 11.4¢ | 11.4¢ | $114.49 | $1,373.88 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 10.8¢ | 10.8¢ | $216.48 | $2,597.76 |
