Thanks for this. The TOU rates look like they would mostly work for solar installs with a battery to help shift energy use time.
This calculator doesn't include distribution/taxes, unfortunately.

Going by your second edit's breakeven formula, I would save over 800 a year on the ET plan.
The TOU plan seems custom made for solar installs, especially with batteries. With solar providing a large part of usage during the day and charging the batteries while the batteries are charged at night to shift the price.
I just don't see hoe that rate is better than the ET rate, unless the distribution is calculated differently.

I don't, currently, have a heat pump. The house is a 2 story with a partial attic, built in the early 1900's, with 24' by 80'.
It is partially heated by oil, with the second floor unused and only enough electric heat their to prevent pipes from freezing.
Their are 4 people living in the house, with 2 living in the portion with oil heat, 2 living in a portion about 24' by 10' heated by electric heat, and an electric stove/oven to cook with.
Last month's usage was 2777kwh. I am looking into getting a heat pump for the place, but as it is such a big house, with much of it unused, sizing it correctly is fun to say the least.

Yeah, that would have been my assumption I didn’t see wealth listed in the criteria.

Easier access the Boston metro and its multi billion dollar economy, thus better wages and earnings potential.

Im using the TP-LINK Archer AX11000. Probably overkill for most, handling 25+ clients with no issues for me though.

Reply to Anyone else having issues with their mail not being delivered in the Augusta area? by nickscion46
There are problems here in Cumberland/Yarmouth. Over 5 packages (including VA medication prescriptions) have been "Out for Delivery" between 1/20 and today, according to tracking and Daily Digest. Nothing ever arrives. We had a piece of junk mail a few days back. Packages are still in limbo. It's the Pony Express, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a bloated, wasteful government agency is having efficiency and retention issues...

But but. The Poster is implying you’re spending all your money on weed and is a lazy Mainer! It’s “your fault” that you can’t afford the high prices of propane and heating oil.
