After dinner last night, Karren brought my attention to a solicitation we received in the mail. It was from our energy provider TXU Energy. It said many of their valued customers had asked if TXU offered a plan whereby customers could take advantage of energy prices when the cost of natural gas fell. For some reason they didn’t attach the list of all of us who had asked that. I tried to remember if I had but I don’t think it was me. They went further and said that customers who were on this plan were currently paying 12.0cents/kWh in November. They failed to say what the rest of us were paying.
Next they spoke of having the best of both worlds by saying if natural gas prices happen to rise (what are the chances) more than we would be comfortable with that we could switch to any of the other plans for free. For some reason they didn’t bother describing the other plans. One of the plans allowed you to lock into a lower plan and you were protected for a specific period of time. HMMMM wonder what that one is???
The greatest news of all it was all free, simply detach the handy form and sign up. There was some small print on the front of form that was not understandable to me. There was also some small print on the back of the form. Here is part of the part on the back. “Current pricing of 12.0 cents per kWh is based on the monthly natural gas price of $7.27/MMBtu in effect on November 1, 2007. Additional average annual prices shown are examples assuming natural gas prices of $9/MMBtu (14.4 cents per kWh), $7/MMBtu (12.4 cents per kWh), and $5/MMBtu (10.5 cents per kWh), respectively”. Man that sure cleared up my confusion!!
OH yes, Eligibility requirements, terms and conditions apply.
Is this the same energy company that while making record profits solicited the Texas Utility Commission for a 25% price increase on two occasions and, as I recall, got it?
I would suggest everyone who thinks TXU is working in the best interest of their customers and truly wants us to save money run, yes run, and sign up for this program. For the rest of us remember there is a sucker born every minute. As for me, I think I will take my chances and just let them “do me” per month as they have been.
