WattBuy’s partnership with Optiwatt means you can save energy and money while earning rewards for the electricity you don’t use.
Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $82 on the lower end (around February) and $95 on the higher end (around July). In your state of Minnesota, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 15¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 12¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 40¢ per kWh.
In your state of Minnesota, the energy sources are 14% coal, 15% nuclear, 24% natural gas, 1% hydroelectric, 40% wind, and 6% solar. This means 38% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 3,480 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 6,215 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 557 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 994 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 146 years old—since the older it is, the less efficient it tends to be. Size also matters, as bigger houses take longer to heat or cool. Your house is 929 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
Your electricity is provided by Minnesota Valley Coop L&P Assn. To set up your account for a new move, to report an outage, or for any other questions, contact them using the information below.
