BASIC Our Basic pricing plan is a traditional option for customers who would like to be charged based on their total monthly electric use. No need to worry about what times of day you use electricity use less, and you ll save more. Because higher rates apply to usage in excess of 400 kwh, your savings are greater when you reduce usage that exceeds that level. On this plan, you can only lower your bill by reducing your total monthly energy usage. Other residential pricing plans offer an opportunity for greater savings when you shift your usage away from on-peak time periods. $15 per month Energy Charge, per kwh: Up to 400 kwh - 8.58 cents More than 400 kwh - 9.81 cents Which plan should you consider?
