Former griddy customer, unaffected by recent events as I'm not in Texas anymore.

> what is your visibility into current prices for electricity?

Very good price visibility. Phone notifications are great. Not only will they notify when it's high and you need to reduce consumption, but also when it's low -- meaning you can consume cheaply, and often they'll send out forecast notifications a day in advance, saying that prices are projected to be high (or projected to be low) the following day. It allows you to plan consumption easily.

> Have you been bitten by unexpected high prices before, perhaps in the summer? Prior to this event, would you say you saved money overall with Griddy?

I definitely saved money with Griddy, and if I moved back to Texas I wouldn't hesitate to sign back up with Griddy again.
