Methodology
- Input: the complete Power to Choose plan export (CSV) downloaded from the PUCT site, retained unchanged with its SHA-256 hash.
- Rows used: English-language listings. Fixed-rate medians use plans with Fixed = 1 that are not prepaid and not time-of-use.
- Prices are the average price per kWh at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh that each provider reports for the plan (Electricity Facts Label figures as listed). They include the utility's delivery charges and any bill credits or minimum-usage fees built into the plan.
- Median: the middle value of the listed prices for each delivery utility, rounded half-up to 0.1 cent. Medians are unweighted: each listing counts once regardless of how many customers choose it.
- Two independent implementations (the site's JavaScript summarizer and a separate Python script) produce identical results from the same file.
Limitations
- A listing is an offer, not a bill. Actual bills depend on usage, plan terms and the utility's charges.
- Plans with bill credits or minimum-usage terms can show a low price at one usage level and a high price at another.
- Snapshots are single points in time. Provider listings change daily.
- The Oct 19 snapshot time comes from the saved file name (export saved 7 PM CT).
