To keep rates fair as electrification accelerates, complexity is inevitable. But customer confusion doesn’t have to be. Help your customers understand and compare rate options without needing to read a PDF.
Bellawatt’s Rate Comparison Tool makes your rates understandable. Whether your customers are rate-curious or DER-ready, our tool shows what they pay today, what’s available, and what it would cost (or save) to switch.
Rate transparency drives trust … and action! Rates are no longer background noise. They’re core to the energy transition, shaping how and when customers electrify. But most rate plans remain opaque, hard to compare, and surprisingly disconnected from the electrification journey.
Our tool closes the gap. It gives customers a personalized, plain-language view of their options, even without a login. For utilities, it becomes a driver of program engagement, easing friction around EVs, heat pumps, TOU rates, and beyond.
The Rate Comparison Tool models customer scenarios using publicly available load profiles and tariff data without advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) or a customer portal integration. Customers can compare rates, test out DERs like EVs or batteries, and see cost implications over a realistic “test year.”
Rates are often the most confusing part of a customer’s bill — and the least actionable. Our tool flips that dynamic. It invites users into a guided experience that shows not just what they’re paying, but why it matters and what their alternatives look like.
Our rates tools support the nuanced needs of modern utility programs, from evolving TOU rates to EV readiness. They meet customers where they are, delivering clear guidance without requiring deep energy expertise. Instead of jargon, customers get a clear comparison and real outcomes based on household type and DER inputs. They leave with answers — not more questions.
This tool fits seamlessly into broader engagement strategies, whether embedded in a Resource Center, linked from email campaigns, or used by customer service reps to lower friction in billing and rate conversations.
