I used to burn coal for over 50 years but cannot do it anymore...

Now I use electric to heat and power our 3 cars... Mostly off peak rates...

Long term PPA agreements have lower cost... Spot price will be higher...

Good comparison of costs of electric energy...

A large part of the cost of energy is distribution which has been rising faster....

There were solar PPA 's at $0.02 KWHr signed in the western US...For 20-30 years....


My Total costs are Peak=$0.12751174/KWHr and OFF Peak=$0.04230133/KWHr.....

Regular rates are Delivery =$0.07123174 KWHr and $0.03494 KWHr Total = $ 0.10617174

I pay a premium for Peak power on the OFF PEAK plan...

Add taxes and fees by each state...

Thanks. Are you using a heat pump or minisplit? They are different right?
What's your winter average temp? Other than this year of course! Haha
