Thanks. Are you using a heat pump or minisplit? They are different right?BigBarney wrote: ↑Fri. Apr. 07, 2023 6:15 pmI 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...

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...
