Plan's sweet spot

1,000 kWh 5.7¢

• Sweet spot is below your summer usage: the plan is cheapest at 1,000 kWh but Texas homes average 1,404 kWh in summer — expect to pay above the headline rate in Jul–Aug.

• Threshold pricing across the curve: 5.7¢ at 1,000 kWh vs 18.7¢ at 500 kWh — a 70% spread, so matching the plan to your actual usage matters more than the headline number.
