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 500 kwh and 1,000 kwh, your savings are greater when you reduce usage that exceeds those levels. 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. Basic Service Charge, per month: $13 - single phase $18 - three phase Energy Charge, per kwh: Summer (May-Sept) Up to 500 kwh: 10.20 cents 501-1,000 kwh: 11.70 cents 1,001 + kwh: 12.25 cents Winter (Oct-Apr) Up to 500 kwh: 9.87 cents 501-1,000 kwh: 11.37 cents 1,001 + kwh: 11.92 cents Which plan should you consider?
