Why shoppers look for an alternative
The advertised rate on Power to Choose is often based on a single usage level (like 1,000 kWh). If your home uses more or less, your effective rate can be very different — sometimes double what you expected. 97 Options analyzes your real bill so the plans you see reflect what you actually use every month.
