Everyone in my state has variable pricing because the TDSP (delivery component of the fee) is subject to fluctuations which are not controlled by the electrical service contract, even though the provider energy charge may be fixed.
“Everyone in my state has variable pricing because the TDSP”
That bites. The guy I was responding to was in Texas, and as far as I know, they don’t force variable pricing on people, though I can see how people might get pulled-in, since the variable price is likely lower than fixed prices for 90% of the time - but that other 10% can sure sting!
