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 | 15.3¢ | 15.3¢ | $76.45 | $917.40 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 14.8¢ | 14.8¢ | $147.95 | $1,775.40 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 14.5¢ | 14.6¢ | $290.95 | $3,491.40 |
What is actually in this plan
The fine print, in plain English
- Base charge
- $4.95 every month before you use any electricity at all. Over a year that is $59.40.
- Energy charge
- 14.300¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- None. Nothing to qualify for and nothing to lose.
- Minimum usage fee
- None.
- CenterPoint delivery charges
- Included in the energy charge above. CenterPoint still charges roughly $4.67 a month plus 5.1567¢ per kWh; the retailer has folded it in rather than billing it separately.
- Early termination fee
- $20 if you leave before the end of the 36-month term. Worth comparing against what you would save by switching.
