What you actually pay in Portland
4Change Energy's cheapest plan in Portland is 7.4¢/kWh all-in. That number is two parts: 4Change Energy's energy charge, plus the AEP Texas Central delivery charge — the cost of the poles and wires, set by the PUCT and identical on every plan from every provider on this grid.
At a typical 1,000 kWh month, that's about $74 — including the ~$4.93 AEP Texas Central meter charge. Because delivery is fixed, the only lever between providers in Portland is the energy charge. 4Change Energy's best rate ranks #5 of 18 providers on the AEP Texas Central grid.
