I like the idea but not sure about the implementation. Here in deep south Texas they have electricity retailers. What they do is advertise a very low fixed rate, but make it only last for 6 months. Then if you don't switch to a new provider, you may end up being stuck with a rate that is effectively double what you originally signed up for. Not in the rate that they say they are giving you, but there is some fee that they are allowed to add supposedly related to the real electricity costs from the actual power company, and they make it as high as they can get away with, in order to max out the effective rate.
