[Hidden-tech] WMECO vs Dominion

[David Korpiewski]

There are no hidden fees up front.  What instead you get is a one time 
discount.  I switched to Dominion a few years ago when they were 
offering a 0.06 /kwh  deal which was locked in for two years, back when 
WMECO was like 7 or 8 /kwh.    However, when my contract was up, 
suddenly it jumped 1 cent/hwh *higher* than WMECO with a promise it 
would drop half a cent every year for the next three years.  I think 
overall, it would not beat WMECO at all, but as WMECO goes up, dominion 
would go slowly down and it would average out.    So it may be 20% now 
for you, but beware the future, they won't have any great deals and you 
will pay nearly what WMECO charges.

The only advantage to Dominion is that you get locked into a rate for X 
amount of years, whereas WMECO jumps around a lot during the year.
