How Does My Electricity Rate Affect My Overall Electric Bill?
Electric companies in Pleasanton, TX are, for the most part, free to price and structure their electricity plans in whatever way they choose. However, the standard disclosure documentation that is required for every electricity plan sold in Texas must include the average electricity rate for 3 benchmark usage levels (500, 1000, & 2000kWh). The idea is to give customers an idea of what their rate will be based on how much electricity they typically use in a month.
These three usage levels have become the standard of comparison when customers are shopping for cheap electricity in Pleasanton.
Unfortunately, this gives electricity providers an incentive to create plans that appear to be much cheaper at precisely these usage levels while being more expensive if you use slightly more or slightly less than the benchmark usage levels.
Here is how that can happen. This is an example of the cost structure for a plan that has a billing credit which only applies to usage that is greater than 1900 kWh but lower than 2400 kWh for the billing cycle.
- Energy Rate = 5.80 ¢ per kWh
- Base Charge = $7.95 per month
- TDU Electric Delivery Charge = $3.42 per month
- TDU Electric Delivery Charge = 3.697 ¢ per kWh
- Credit for Billing cycle for usage greater than 1900 kWh and less than 2400 kWh = $40 per month
The result of this formula is that the cheapest electricity rate of 8.1¢/kWh occurs if you use 2000 kWh per month. But, if you loss that $40 credit by using too little or too much electricity, your actual rate will be quite a bit higher than 8.1 cents.
How Do Electricity Plan Cancellation Fees Work?
Just about any plan you find will come with a cancellation fee attached. This doesn’t include month-to-month variable rate plans. Cancellation fees are listed along with the plan details in the Vault electricity rate comparison tool. Most providers charge a straight cancellation fee. $150 is a typical cancellation fee for a 12 month plan. Some providers, however, charge a certain amount for each remaining month on the plan. For example; $20 per month.
If you switch providers before your contract is at an end, you are likely to be charged this fee.
