That s sounds like the minimum bill will be for 30 minutes at their peak rate no mater your usage.

The off peak rates are even cheaper than the plug in electric vehicle plan, but the gotcha is that they charge $6.53/kWh for the peak 30 minutes of consumption  each month, both peak (June-Sept) and off peak.
The GA Power web site allows me to monitor daily usage, but does not provide the 30 minute granularity necessary to calculate if this rate would save or cost me $. Which prompted this email to see if anybody on the list has a suggestion of an affordable device or Rpi project that could log my power consumption on a minute by minute basis.

Thanks in advance,
