Re: (ET) ET Charges for Pennys a Day
In order to keep everyone on the same page, it should
be noted that the term kw/hr means kw per hr, or kw divided by hours. This
is a term that has no real physical meaning. The meaningful term is kw-hr, or kw
times hrs. This is a measure of the energy delivered (and paid
for).
