Because I do the smart thermostation the average thing doesn't work too well. They just do the average of the current month plus the last 12 dividend by 12.

Since the electricity drops from $0.10 kWh to $0.04 kWh exceot for the 5 hours from 2pm to 7pm, then it can be .05, .10, .21, or .42 depending on how high they expect the usage to be. i typically use 20 kWh per day, but the high usage days it can go to 60 kWh. Not all of that is at the high rate. My thermostat pre-cools 4 degrees at noon and raises 4 degrees above the set point at 2pm to 7pm. My electric bills in the summer with high temps is usually about the same as winter. My gas bill was $38. all i use it for is heating water, laundry, showers, dishwasher.
