How electricity plans are priced
Plans use different pricing structures. Here are a few you're likely to come across.
Time of use. Your rate depends on when electricity is used.
Fixed rate. Your energy rate stays fixed under the terms of the plan.
Variable rate. Your rate can change over time.
Usage credit. A credit applies after reaching the plan's usage requirement.
A few quotes isn’t the same as comparing.
Each supplier quotes on its own terms, so the numbers don't line up. When every supplier bids on the same terms, prices are easy to compare.
| Compared | Separate quotes | Side-by-side bids |
|---|---|---|
| Every supplier prices the same terms | Each sets its own | Yes |
| Usage limits and penalties shown up front | Often buried | Yes |
| Extra fees easy to compare | Hard to tell | Yes |
| Room to negotiate the price | Rarely | Yes |
| Contract terms checked before you sign | Usually not | Yes |
| You choose when to lock in | Whatever it is that day | Yes |
The lowest price isn't always the cheapest. Once you count usage limits, extra fees and the contract terms, the lowest number on paper can end up costing more.
