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 | 19.0¢ | 19.0¢ | $94.95 | $1,139.40 |
| 1,000 kWh a month | 15.5¢ | 15.5¢ | $154.95 | $1,859.40 |
| 2,000 kWh a month | 16.7¢ | 16.8¢ | $334.95 | $4,019.40 |
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
- 18.000¢ 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.
- TNMP delivery charges
- Included in the energy charge above. TNMP still charges roughly $8 a month plus 6.4300¢ 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.
