How much is Direct Energy's fixed, 18 months offer a month?

At 1,000 kWh the generation part of the bill works out to about $172.90 a month, at 700 kWh (the usage PAPowerSwitch's own estimate uses) about $121.03 (the site states $121.03): the listed price times the usage plus the monthly fee, our arithmetic on the supplier's figures.
