Energy rates
The charged price is the base rate plus its adjustment. Adjustments carry fuel and rider costs and are frequently most of the bill, so a comparison built on the base rate alone is meaningless.

The utility's own description
Applicable to electric service other than three phase service, for all domestic purposes in private residences, single occupancy apartments and separately metered common use areas of multi-occupancy buildings in the entire territory of the Company where distribution lines are adjacent to the premises to be served. Residences where not more than two rooms are used for rental purposes will also be included. Where all dwelling units in a multi-occupancy building are served through one meter and the common use area is metered separately, the kilowatt-hour rate will be applied on a "per residence" or "per apartment" basis, however, the customer charge will be based on the number of installed meters. Where a portion of a residential service is used for purposes of a commercial or public character, Rate DS, Service At Distribution Voltage, is applicable to all service. However, if the wiring is so arranged that the service for residential purposes can be metered separately, this Rate will be applied to the residential service, if the service qualifies hereunder.
