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 | 14.3¢ | 13.3¢ | $66.36 | $796.32 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 13.5¢ | 12.5¢ | $125.17 | $1,502.04 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 13.1¢ | 12.1¢ | $242.78 | $2,913.36 |
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
- 3.990¢ 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
- $7.56 a month plus 7.7710¢ 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
- $100 if you leave before the end of the 3-month term. Worth comparing against what you would save by switching.
