Estimates, not quotes. We run three made-up but realistic households through this tariff hour by hour for a full year — including the way air conditioning loads the afternoon and an EV loads the small hours. Your own bill depends on when you actually use electricity, which is exactly the thing a per-kWh number hides.

Plus a fixed charge of $34 per month.

Should you be on Residential All Electric Service Single Phase?

The hour of day does not change what you pay here — the month does. Running the same house through the full year, July costs about $183 and February about $112. That $72 swing is part rate and part weather, and it is the reason a budget built on your spring bill will break in July.

Before a single kilowatt-hour moves, this plan charges $408 a year in fixed fees. On the apartment above that is 39% of the whole bill; on the house with a car charging in it, 19%. Fixed charges are invisible in a cents-per-kWh comparison and they punish small users hardest — if you use very little electricity, the headline rate is the least important number on this page.

How it compares to Central Electric Membership Corp.’s other plans

Measured against the other residential plans this utility files, a family home lands 1st cheapest of 2 — nothing else here beats it for that household.
