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 | 16.4¢ | 16.4¢ | $81.95 | $983.40 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 12.9¢ | 12.9¢ | $128.95 | $1,547.40 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 14.1¢ | 14.2¢ | $282.95 | $3,395.40 |
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
- 15.400¢ per kilowatt hour, the same at any usage.
- Bill credits
- $30 off your bill in months you use at least 1,000 kWh.
- 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.
