Energy Provider

This is a new electricity retailer with a difference. They just pass on the wholesale price of electricity and charge a flat $10 fee on top a month. The charges are also worked out per half hour and matched to your usage during that half hour. As I type this they are charging 15c per kwh and the app say that they expect it to reach a max of .20 at 7pm tonight. So if I want to use a cloths dryer or do some baking now would be a good time.

The only issues I have with this sort of model it that it can make you a bit of a slave to the app and keep allowing it to decide some of the things you do each day.. another thing to worry about type of thing.

I left my email address and they got back to me last week and sent me to a sign up page...

Yes very interesting. The wholesale price of electricity can swing wildly and sometimes be in the 10's of dollars not the 15c shown there. I think January is the worst month for that type of thing. Customers would have to accept that some months they will save a lot but in other months they might be charged a lot as well.. possibly as much as a $100 more just for that one month.. The idea of course is that over the year they will save as all the lower months even it out somewhat. I suspect this company will suit the adventurous and the brave.
