PRONTO POWER — Power To Choose

Rejected We left this plan off our honest list. Here's exactly why.

VARIABLE RATE

Variable rate — the price can change month to month with no cap.

PREPAID

Prepaid plan — pay-as-you-go with its own fees, not a straight rate.

BASE CHARGE

Charges a flat monthly base fee on top of the rate — it quietly raises your real cost, and hits low-usage months hardest.

What it actually costs at different usage

Average price per kWh at three usage levels. An honest fixed plan is nearly flat. Watch how the effective rate moves.
