About these figures

OpenStream publishes electricity offers read from each state regulator's own listing, with the listing linked and the date it was read.

How a price is read

Texas: every offer comes from Power to Choose, the listing of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, read every day.
Pennsylvania: every offer comes from PAPowerSwitch, the listing of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, read every day.
Ohio: every offer comes from Energy Choice Ohio, Apples to Apples, the listing of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, read every day.
A read older than 14 days holds every price, and the page says when the last read was.
An offer that would become the cheapest for its utility waits for a second daily read before it leads.
Offers are ranked on the price per kWh at a stated monthly usage, within one delivery utility. States and utilities are never ranked against each other.
Prices are in US dollars and cents as listed. Nothing is converted from another country's prices or estimated.

Texas: OpenStream is not yet registered as a broker with the PUCT and earns nothing from any retailer. The rule in Texas.
Pennsylvania: OpenStream holds no Pennsylvania PUC licence as an electric generation supplier, broker or marketer, and earns nothing from any supplier. The rule in Pennsylvania.
Ohio: OpenStream holds no Ohio certification from the PUCO and earns nothing from any supplier. The rule in Ohio.

The order of offers is set by price alone.

Each visit is logged with the pages viewed, the time, the IP address and the approximate place it maps to, so we can see how the site is used and spot abuse.
Google Analytics and Crazy Egg (heatmaps and session recordings with form fields masked) measure how pages are used. Both set cookies; a browser setting or extension blocks them and the site works without them.
A ZIP code typed into the ZIP check is looked up in files held on this site. It is sent nowhere else.
Nothing is sold. Nothing is shared beyond the services named here and Amazon Web Services, which hosts the site.

If a price or an offer here is wrong, email corrections@getopenstream.com with the page and what the state's listing shows. Anything else: support@getopenstream.com.

Every state is linked from the United States page.
