Atlantex vs Infuse (Free Window %)
This chart is dynamic, and you can change the usage filter in the top-right corner. For the filter selection, use 500 kWh or 1,000 kWh if you live in an apartment. Use 1,000 kWh and 2,000 kWh for medium to large houses, and 2,000 kWh to 3,000 kWh for very large houses.
- This graph shows the effective rate you would pay under each plan depending on what percentage of your electricity usage you can shift into the free-hours window. It includes all costs during both the free and paid periods, so it provides a fair comparison between the two plans.
- Although the free-hours schedules are not exactly the same, the total number of free hours is very similar. To read the graph correctly, you first need to estimate your household’s total electricity usage. That is why the graph includes a filter for 500 / 1000 / 2000 / 3000 kWh. The point where one plan becomes better than the other changes depending on that usage level.

That said, shifting 40% of your electricity usage into the weekend is not easy. That is why it is so important to be willing to adjust your usage habits.
With that in mind, Atlantex Power is the safer option for a wider range of households, including apartments, small homes, and larger homes, because it gives you some protection if you are not able to move more than 50% of your electricity usage into the weekend.
Best Household for Infuse Energy’s Plan
There are a few exceptions: very disciplined households that do not mind setting the thermostat above 76°F during the day and around 73°F at night, or people who are away from home during the week and mainly use electricity on the weekend. In situations like these, where more than 50% of total usage can realistically fall on the weekend, Infuse Energy’s plan can be the better option.
