The published delivery charge right now is $3.42 per month fixed plus $0.035448 per kwh.My December electricity was 8.1 cents per KWh all in. Of that 2.4 was electricity, delivery was 4.5 cents the rest was fees and taxes. Apparently delivery and fees and taxes can vary depending on where you live. But yes 9 cents all in for three years is a great deal.
I just paid a visit to powertochoose.org and many of the low rates I saw just last week aren't available anymore. There was a rate out there last week with Cirro of $0.022 per kwh (independent of usage), which translated to an "all in" rate of $3.42 plus $0.057 per kwh per month. I can't change plans without a penalty until June, so I'm just going to have to wait until then and see what's available.
Time your change over to near the end of your current contract - within 14 days to avoid charges. You can switch over a day or two early. If you don't sign up to switch before your current contract ends, your current provider may put you on a high cost plan. I made that mistake. My TXU plan terminated on the 14th, I signed up to start on the 15th and got tagged with a 37cent per hour rate for a partial day. Ouch.
TPG charges a small one-time fee - about 10 bucks.
