Title: Sourcing lowest electric prices
Post by: Par Avion on March 19, 2018, 12:43:04 AM
Anyone know how to look up where has the lowest prices for electric? I've found a few sites, but nothing that seemed concrete. Looking to set up a bigger farm nearby, and want to suss out the best locations.

Cheers.

Not sure where you are, but in my area I user powertochoose.org

This seems about right for my area, which happens to be NW Pennsylvania. We get our electricity pretty cheap here, about 6-7c/kWh. If you give us a location or state where you might want to start a farm we'll be able to do some more digging. I guarantee you you'll find a site like this for pretty much every state in the US, if that's where you want to start your newer farm.

electricitylocal does OK on reporting prices, but has ZERO search function, so you pretty much have to already KNOW where to look and you often have to drill down to the CITY or TOWN level since many utilities only cover specific parts of an area.

powertochoose has severe limitations on where it CAN operate - and once you factor in delivery charges it's often NOT the lowest cost option, though sometimes it can be.



Define "nearby"?
