FAQ
Common questions.
Why does the "cheapest" plan change at different usage levels?
+
Most plans use bill credits or tiered pricing that only hit at exactly 1,000 kWh. If you use 600 or 1,400, you pay a different effective rate. Sort by the usage that matches your home.
What's the difference between advertised rate and true cost?
+
Advertised rate is the rate at a single usage level (usually 1,000 kWh) after all bill credits. True cost is what you actually pay per kWh given your usage. They can differ by 30%+.
