Comparision of E-8 vs E-7 billing rate schedules for our
household |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For June 19, 2003 through June 17, 2004 we used an average of
45KWH/day and would have saved roughly $500 if we had been on an E-7 schedule
instead of the E-8 billing rate schedule that we were actually on. |

Surcharges
apply equally to the KWH whether on the E-8 or the E-7 schedule so they were
excluded from the analysis. |
The 10%
legislated reduction and the 5% tax would throw off the numbers by about 5%,
but were not included. |

If we went from 45KWH/day back to 80KWH/day with
the additional power spread evenly 24x7 how much of the $500 do we lose? |
