How much is Better Buy Energy's fixed, 12 months offer a month?

At 1,000 kWh the generation part of the bill works out to about $128.90 a month, at 700 kWh (the usage PAPowerSwitch's own estimate uses) about $90.23 (the site states $90.23): the listed price times the usage plus the monthly fee, our arithmetic on the supplier's figures. Penelec's delivery charges are added on the same bill whichever supplier you choose.
