Your bill vs.mine

Received my NYSEG bill for February, and since my billing cycle approximates the month, we can draw some conclusions about the cost of various electric options.

My option: New York Energy Cooperative, Feb. price, including distribution charge and transition credit was: 11.76324 cents per Kwh.

NYSEG variable : 11.0646 cents per kwh, including distribution charge, transition credit and merchant function charge. (See page two of this NYSEG handout for an explanation of merchant function charge.)

NYSEG fixed: 12.55 cents per kwh.

Bottom line for the average home using 600 Kwh/month:

NY Energy Cooperative: $70.58
NYSEG Variable: $66.38
NYSEG Fixed: $75.30

NYSEG variable is the cost savings winner in February, producing a $9.92 savings over the fixed rate.
