Start with your usage, then compare the offer.
A low advertised rate can depend on a specific usage level, a bill credit, or a temporary condition. Check the price at the amount of electricity you actually use.
Six details to put side by side.
- Usage-based charges. Review how the plan calculates the energy you use, including any time-of-use terms.
- Delivery and fixed fees. Confirm what’s included in the quote and what is charged separately.
- Bill-credit conditions. Know the minimum or maximum usage requirements and when a credit disappears.
- Contract length. Consider how the term fits your move, lease, operating plans, and renewal timing.
- Exit and renewal terms. Review cancellation fees, notices, and what happens when the contract ends.
- Provider documents. Read the EFL and Terms of Service where applicable, or the complete commercial proposal.
