WattShed Shift
Live, self-serveWhich rate plan actually costs less, on your usage.
Shift compares rate plans the only honest way a tool without your meter data can: you enter each plan from the utility's published tariff sheet, state how your usage splits across time-of-use periods, and Shift does the arithmetic. The answer moves with the usage split, and the report says so; two plans landing close together are inside the error a rough split introduces, and Shift flags exactly that instead of declaring a false winner.
What it does.
Prices any mix of flat and time-of-use plans over an annual usage figure and a stated usage split.
Separates fixed charges from energy charges, and flags plans whose ranking is driven by the fixed charge.
Names the cheapest plan and the spread, and flags close calls as close instead of calling them.
Ships no rate database. Every rate is one you typed from a published tariff.
Runs in the browser. Nothing entered is stored.
Who it is for.
