Your electricity plan report
1. Your usage, month by month
We price each verified plan against your actual 12 months, not the three sample usage levels (500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh) printed on a facts label. This made-up Dallas home peaks in summer air-conditioning season, like many do.

2. Your verified plans, ranked
Ranked by estimated cost over your 12 months. Every plan here would have been checked against its provider's current Electricity Facts Label (EFL). In a real report, each plan shows the numbers behind its estimate, from its current Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
| Rank | Plan (fictional) | Est. per year | Est. per month | Est. vs. your plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Provider A – Plan 12 12-month fixed, no bill credit · energy 9.4¢/kWh · base $0.00/mo · early-exit fee $150 | $2,379 | $198 | $801 |
| #2 | Provider B – Plan 7 Partner plan 12-month fixed, no bill credit · energy 9.1¢/kWh · base $9.95/mo · early-exit fee $200 | $2,452 | $204 | $728 |
| #3 | Provider C – Plan 24 24-month fixed, no bill credit · energy 9.9¢/kWh · base $0.00/mo · early-exit fee $240 | $2,456 | $205 | $724 |
| #4 | Provider D – Plan 3 12-month fixed with $50 bill credit · energy 13.0¢/kWh · base $0.00/mo · early-exit fee $150 | $2,537 | $211 | $643 |
3. Watch out: a bill-credit cliff
Provider D – Plan 3 looks cheapest on its label, but ranks #4 for you.
This plan takes $50 off your bill in any month you use between 1,000 and 1,999 kWh. That's what makes its label look cheap at 1,000 kWh. Use 999 kWh, or 2,000, and the $50 disappears, and you pay its higher energy rate in full.
Based on your usage, you'd miss the credit in 4 months (Mar, Apr, Aug, Nov). That's about $200 of credits you'd never see. Over the year it comes to an estimated $2,537.
4. How your current plan compares
Provider E – Plan 9 · 13.8¢/kWh · $9.95/mo base · about $265/mo on average. Contract ended last month (example), so no early-exit fee applies.
Provider A – Plan 12. Estimated $801 less over the next 12 months if your usage looks like last year's.
If your contract weren't up yet, a real report would show your early-exit fee and whether staying or switching is the better deal right now. If you're already on a good plan, we'll tell you that too.
5. Assumptions
- Your next 12 months of usage look like the last 12.
- Rates and fees are those on each plan's facts label on the report date. Here they're all made up.
- Delivery charges from the utility are included, here at a made-up rate. A real report checks how each plan's terms handle them, since some plans bundle them differently.
- Taxes and miscellaneous fees are not included.
- Only plans we could verify are ranked: current facts label, any supplemental or channel terms, eligibility and enrollment terms, and availability at your address. We don't cover every plan on the market, so a plan missing here isn't necessarily worse.
- With fewer than 12 months of bills, a real comparison is labeled partial and says plainly what the data supports.
- A real report link goes stale after 7 days and expires after 10 days, because prices change.
Estimates at today's rates, not a guarantee. Your actual bills depend on your usage, your plan's terms and your provider. The provider's documents control the plan, not our estimate.
Our ranking is independent of commissions. Every verified plan, partner or not, is priced the same way against your usage. Where a provider may pay us a commission if you enroll through our link, that never changes the order, and a plan that doesn't pay us can still rank first.
