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 | 12.9¢ | 12.9¢ | $64.50 | $774 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 13.1¢ | 13.1¢ | $130.72 | $1,568.64 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 13.2¢ | 13.2¢ | $263.17 | $3,158.04 |
What is actually in this plan
The fine print, in plain English
- Base charge

- Energy charge
- 7.600¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- $10 off your bill every month.
- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- AEP North delivery charges
- $3.33 a month plus 5.6443¢ 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.
