Thanks! When they offered I jumped on it. I usually don't lock in that long but I felt it was a low rate and I dislike calling annually to haggle over price. I was lucky since it was before the energy market went crazy.
I was on a time of use plan but I live in hot Scottsdale, have a total electric home with 7 tons of AC, a heat pump (which also cools) for the swimming pool,. etc. I am not about to turn off the AC during peak hours nor am I about to tell my wife she can't use the laundry during peak hours. So I decided to try a flat rate plan and see if it will work out okay for me:
Tier 1: 600 kWh or less average monthly energy use – 11.298¢/kWh Tier 2: 601-999 kWh average monthly energy use – 12.282¢/kWh Tier 3: 1,000 kWh or more average monthly energy use – 13.478¢/kWh
