Our Assessment:

This is a "Bill Credit" plan, it includes a 14.7¢ per kWh energy charge, which is offset by a $100.00 bill credit if you use at least 1000kWh of energy per month. If you do not qualify for the bill credit, your bill could be larger than expected.

For a more predictable bill, you should choose a "Fixed Rate" plan.

Plan Renewal:

If you order this plan and start it today, you will be up for renewal 24 months from now in March of 2028.

Since this plan expires in March, you can take advantage of seasonally lower rates when you renew.

Electricity rates are generally highest from June through September.
