Want to know how much the Community Power Energy Plans
will cost you per year?*
Step 1:
Identify your average daily electricity usage (or closest to
your actual usage) on the table below.
How?
Your average daily usage
will be on your electricity bill, usually near a picture of a
bar graph. Remember that your bills can vary throughout the
year depending on the season and what appliances are being
used. Winter bills can be higher than average due to more
lighting, heating and hot water being used.
Step 2:
Choose what percentage of your home's electricity consumption
you want sourced from renewable GreenPower sources.
Where the row from Step 1
intersects with the column from Step 2, this will indicate the
additional cost, before rebates.
