ELECTRICITY RATINGS review

Electricity Ratings, LLC is the legal entity behind the site, with headquarters in the US. It works inside a single country rather than across several, so the plans, the tariff names and the rate structure all follow the same set of local rules. That focus is why the listings read as a US only view of the energy market.

Unit rates run $0.062 to $0.15 across the plans shown, with an export rate of $0.25 alongside. The unit rate is the figure to weigh, since a low rate only helps a household if the plan also suits the hours and the amount of power it actually uses.

Fixed terms are offered at 9, 12 and 15, so a household can accept a short commitment and move sooner, or hold the same rate for longer. The fixed option in fixed, ev and time of use is the one built for that choice, and the term length decides how far the agreed rate stretches.

The listed commitments are 9, 12 and 15, and the fixed tariff in fixed, ev and time of use prices the same rate for the whole stretch. A shorter term simply creates more points at which a household can move to a different plan and take whatever is priced then, which matters for readers who expect the market to move during the contract.

The tariff list covers fixed, ev and time of use. That mix is broader than Base Power Company, whose offer is limited to fixed, so households wanting a green or prepay option have somewhere to start here. It is narrower than Powerpeers, which lists dynamic, fixed and variable.

Coverage spans California, Connecticut and Delaware, including California, New York, Texas and Washington, D.C. The state list behind that coverage is CA, CT and DE. Households living outside those areas are not the audience for the plans listed, since the market here is US alone.

Support runs on email and phone, which pairs a written route with a phone line. That mix suits readers who want to handle a billing question in writing and readers who would rather talk it through, and it is the full set of channels listed for the brand.

Gas is covered alongside electricity, since electricity and gas lists both. A household shopping its energy together can compare the two side by side in the same view, and a single fuel buyer can set the other aside. There is no requirement to take both.

The decisive gap is rates that follow the market. Electricity Ratings lists fixed, ev and time of use, while Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable. A reader who wants a dynamic or variable rate has more to choose from at Powerpeers, while a reader who wants a fixed price with ev, green or prepay options finds them here.

On unit rate the brand holds position 1 among 23 brands ranked on that measure, with rates of $0.062 to $0.15. Its overall score is 9.6, which reflects a picture built around price rather than service extras.
