How much does the plan you pick actually matter here?

Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through every plan Randolph Electric Member Corp files, and the bill lands anywhere between $1,653 and $1,914 a year. That $261 spread is not a difference in electricity — it is the same kilowatt-hours, from the same wires, priced under different rules. Nobody sends you a letter when you are on the wrong side of it.

1 of these 3 plans price by the hour. Those are the ones where moving laundry, dishes, or car charging into the cheap window changes the bill; on the rest, the clock is irrelevant and only the total matters. Which camp you belong in is the first question worth settling, because it decides whether shifting your day is worth anything at all.

How Randolph Electric Member compares across North Carolina

Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through its default plan at each of the 7 North Carolina utilities we cover, and Randolph Electric Member comes in 6th cheapest at about $1,653 a year; the state median is $1,414. The range runs from $1,143 at City of Concord to $1,945 at Roanoke Electric Member, and since the utility is set by the address, the part of that gap you can act on is the plan, not the company.

Effective rate, fixed charge included, is 17.5¢ per kilowatt-hour for the family home.

Inside Randolph Electric Member itself, the gap between its cheapest and dearest plan for that house is $261 a year — less than the $802 between North Carolina's cheapest and dearest utilities. Here the address decides most of the bill; the plan decides the rest.
