OG&E Summer Tier Pricing Starts Today

[WilliamTell]

Lol, ya... "oh no, don't lock me in to something that is cheaper"

Im letting you Guinea pigs do the test run. One thing that Ive learned is that a company would never launch a new product or billing system to save existing customers money. And that anything that lets me come and go for a trial year and then after the trial period is over locks me into the new system never works out to my benefit.

There was a whole thread on this and how it saves money. So I'm not going into a long story about it all over again.

I will say that I got a flyer last week that showed that i was in the top tier of savers over this summer's season. Not only did it show my usage and cost, but it showed what it would have been had I not been on smart hours. Guess what folks, I saved over $400 over the course of the season compared to what I would have paid if I weren't a smart hours customer.

So be a doubter all you want, i'm done trying to get people to listen. All i know is it did for me, exactlly that it said it would do. Save. Flat out, no hidden anything. Just save.

I'd really appreciate if you'd explain this line of thought. I just called OG&E and asked if I'm EVER locked into the program and they said "No." I was told it is 100% voluntary and you can get out and go to any other program you want whenever you want - no obligation, no fee, nada.

Do you know something I don't, they were not disclosing - or are you perpetuating misinformation?

17 times? Show me the numbers.

The lowest price you can pay is 4.5 cents. 17 x 4.5 = 76.5 cents per kwh.

After showing me the numbers, pass whatever you are smoking because I want to be so high that 76.5 = 50!

During 2PM-7PM your rate can be any of the following:
Low Rate: $0.027 (which has happened several times this summer)
Standard Rate: $0.068 (more typical, such as this is the rate for tomorrow/Monday)
Medium Rate: $0.14
High Rate: $0.38
Critical Rate: $0.46 (just a handful of events per year)

The difference between the per/kw low rate ($0.027) and the highest rate ($0.46) = 1700% or 17 times as much. Non-smoker of any type here.

Apparently there might have been some inaccuracies in the numbers I posted. As they switched to start including taxes I think with the rates.

Weekday Rate	Period	Price per kWh
Off peak	12am -2pm	$0.0450
On peak	2pm -7pm
Low		$0.0450
Standard		$0.1130
High		$0.2300
Critical		$0.4600
Off peak	7pm -12am	$0.0450

Weekend Rate (Not shown in bar chart)	Period	Price per kWh
Off peak	12am -12am	$0.0450

For comparison here is the winter plan as well.

Winter rate plan

Block rate plan	kWh used	Price per kWh
Winter-1	0-600	$0.0573
Winter-2	600+	$0.0173

I wonder if there was an inaccuracy in Larry OKC's earlier post where he said his average KW/hour rate was .08 cents. Considering that the above chart shows the standard rate being .11 cents, something doesn't jibe. (?)

I think their is a tax we are all missing with he rates, they say 4.5 in the literature, but on www.myogerpower.com it says it is $.06

Never ever heard of it being .02 cents, but that would be nice!

Went back and looked at my post in question in the other thread (http://www.okctalk.com/current-event...tml#post566930), compared it with that bill for the month in question...

Avg billing, w/taxes & fees = = 0.0807498 p/kwh
Actual usage, w/taxes & fees = 0.1126315 p/kwh

What I paid that month was slightly less than the rate that stick47 said he paid (0.084) on the Smart plan, don't know if his figure included taxes & fees etc.

I emailed them and received no reply.
