		<description>The ultimate result would be to only have to input my monthly usage information over a 12month period and have the calculator/spreadsheet compare All the power company plans for my zipcode, which are numerous.  View powertochoose.org to see how many companies and plans are out there.  
We have to keep re-evaluating plans and contracts after they expire, with frequency depending on which plan we choose (variable, 12mo. fixed, etc.).  I am looking to compare the most plans available with the least amount of effort.  There are numerous variables to consider that make this task frustrating if not impossible.</description>

		<description>Teresa,
    Do you want a spreadsheet that already has power company&#039;s information in it or do you want to have a spreadsheet that has all the formulas and calculations already and you just enter information for each power company?</description>

		<description>I have been searching for a spreadsheet that helps to determine what is the best power company to select based on residential usage.  I have my monthly kWh usage for a couple of years.  A few months are below 500kWh and most are below 1000 kWh for the year in the Houston area.  We never reach 2000 kWh/mo.  Folks are penalized for saving energy, because we are charged monthly fees for staying below the power company&#039;s benchmark kWh number which ranges from 500 to 800 to 1000.  Does someone know of a spreadsheet on the web (preferably free or inexpensive) that we can use when we are comparing the Facts Labels of the power companies?  thanks.</description>

		<description>Lee,
    Wow, I didn&#039;t know that, that is crazy! I don&#039;t know if you live in a rural area but if you did I&#039;d toss up a wind turbine anyway! Also here I don&#039;t think we need permits unless you are building a large tower for the wind turbine or if you put in new electrical circuits in breaker box. If we use a pole as tower and install turbine onto existing circuits I don&#039;t think we need permits. I may be wrong though.

    Do you at least get a reason as to why you were denied installing a wind turbine or do they just say denied done and over with? You would think your government would want people to save some money and also save the environment. I don&#039;t know how your electric is run there, but do you have different electric companies or does government control electricity? I know in Canada the government controls their water. Sometimes they get set on certain hours they are allowed to shower and do laundry. If you are not able to take a shower or do laundry in those hours too bad. Didn&#039;t know if your electric was kind of like their water where government controls the electric or not.

    I guess the best you can do is follow the tips on this site to use less electric and try not to waste any at all, until you can find a way to generate your own electricity or at least a part of your electricity. Maybe a couple solar panels will at least save you some money even if you can&#039;t power your entire home with them. Best of luck to you!</description>

		<description>Also:

we can&#039;t use gas because it&#039;s more expensive than electricity

we can&#039;t use generators because fuel is astronomical in price

we can&#039;t erect any sort of wind turbine because you need planning permission which is always denied.

the only option we have is solar power, but of course here the sun hardly ever comes out lol</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe how cheap electricity is for you Americans. Here in Britain I pay around £260 ($380) per month for my electric and I live in a 1 bed flat, that excludes water heating.

My kilowat hour charge is 21 pence an hour.

Electric is so expensive that most people just sit in cold houses because they can&#039;t afford to run heating, not even in 1 room.

If the government don&#039;t do something about the costs I can see people going back to cutting down trees and burning them. 

The electricity companies increased the prices 3 times per year last year.</description>
