As of 01/29/25, we’ve collected the full list of {{summary.company_a.gimmick_plan_count}} currently available {{company_a.name}} plans and {{summary.company_b.gimmick_plan_count}} {{company_b.name}} plans and listed their rates, terms, and the type of gimmick or standard plan each falls into. These plans are based on an average monthly usage of 2,000 kWh, or what you might use for a typical residential home.

BKV’s lowest rate plan is {{bkv_cheapest_plan.price_formatted}} per kWh for the {{bkv_cheapest_plan.plan_name}} plan – a 100% Renewable no-gimmicks plan.

Compare that to the lowest rate plan from {{company_a.name}} which is currently the {{company_a_cheapest_plan.plan_types.0}} plan at {{company_a_cheapest_plan.price_formatted}} per kWh for a term of 12 months. This plan falls into the following categories: Base Fee (gimmick), Bill Credits (gimmick). And also check that against {{company_b.name}} lowest rate plan, the {{company_a_cheapest_plan.plan_types.0}} plan at {{company_a_cheapest_plan.price_formatted}} per kWh – a Base Fee (gimmick), Bill Credits (gimmick) type of plan. Gimmick plans may lead to prices not being what you expect in the long run.

The average rate among all {{company_a.name}} plans is currently {{providers.0.price_avg_formatted}} per kWh, including all term lengths available. The average rate among all {{company_b.name}} plans is currently {{company_a_cheapest_plan.price_formatted}} per kWh, including all term lengths available.

First, you need to know how to identify a Gimmicky Plan.Standard electricity plans are those you can trust to offer just what they say, without tricks that mislead you about the ultimate price you’ll pay on your electrical bill. However, many providers use “Gimmicky” plans to grab your attention. The prices seem very cheap at first glance, but when you dive a bit deeper you may end up paying much more than you’d expect!Examples of standard plans include Simple Fixed Rate, Variable Rate, Solar Buyback, and 100% Renewable Energy plans – but only if they don’t come with certain gimmicks attached. Gimmicky plans typically include “Bullseye” Plans, plans with a Base Fee, EV Charging plans, plans that offer Bill Credits, and Free Nights or Free Weekends.Let’s see how {{company_b.name}} and {{company_a.name}} plans stack up, and what types each company offers currently…[/content_block]{{!
