Average Monthly Electricity Bills

By -


This graph shows a comparison of the average monthly electricity bill in Pennsylvania for Utilities' Price to Compare and the best ESCO plan.

The average price for using the Distributor's Price to Compare is $66/month, while the average price for switching to an ESCO is $52/month.

On average, a customer will save $14/month (amounting to about $165 in yearly savings) by switching their electricity to the cheapest ESCO electricity supplier. Comparing energy plans will allow a customer to choose between different types of monthly plans: fixed and variable rates, renewable generation, and promotional introductory rates.

This analysis used the following assumptions:

1 - Customers prefer "fixed term" plans to "variable" plans, as those give customers most certainty about their subsequent rates and bills.

2 - Average monthly electricity usage is 870kWh/month

Do we need electricity grids in emerging markets?

By Anonymous -
Electricity grids have been powering cities across the world since the early 1900s. As the world continues to develop at different speeds, and rural areas demand more and more electricity, is the traditional electricity grid still the best option?

Providing electricity to countryside homes will likely have ripple effects on eradicating poverty and increasing the sustainable development of these areas. Kerosene lamps are main source of light at night in many rural homes in developing countries. These lamps have been known to cause injuries when broken, as the highly flammable fuel can severely burn those nearby.

Companies like d.light and M-KOPA have attempted to address this safety issue associated with kerosene lamps by developing solar powered LED lights to replace the kerosene. While these LED lamps may have a much higher upfront cost than kerosene lamps, they have very little maintenance costs and much lower life-time costs. Providing electricity to such homes not only reduces the…

Renewable Energy and the Electricity Grid

By Anonymous -
Solar and wind energy is becoming less and less expensive and more and more states are demanding to be powered by renewable energy. California, a leader in renewable energy usage, has a goal of operating on 33% renewable energy by 2020, and they will likely achieve the goal in time. Integrating renewables into the electricity grid is an important step towards sustainability. In order for the US to fully benefit from all of the energy sources that are available to it, they need to address the challenges associated with adding renewables to the grid.
One of the biggest challenges with renewables powering the grid is their unreliability. The grid was built on the idea that it would be powered by fossil fuels, requiring predictable, on demand energy generation. With solar and wind power, this isn't the case. When the sun goes down or the wind stops, there is no more electricity being produced. The grid operator no longer has the option to turn the electricity generator on or off.
