What this does not cover
Service territories do not follow ZIP boundaries. These are the plans found at the coordinate this ZIP was resolved from, not a verified list for every address in it.
8 of these plans price by hour. WattClear does not know which hours a household uses, so those estimates carry lower confidence and say so on the figure.
