My power company started raping me, so I just switched to a different one. My cost per kilowatt-hour should go from the 19.5 cents I paid on my last bill to about 14.9 cents, and it'll be all wind power. What does electricity cost where you live? I understand Texas is pretty high because we're deregulated now.
electricity cost in your area?

my bill averages $50 a month
You apartment dwellers are lucky.
Back in the day in my 2 bed apt my bill was $80 in the winter with the electric heat.
Now it hovers around $230 a month. I'm not sure what the KWH rate is though.
Used to be $350 a month, but I've made some big changes concerning my electricity usage.
Mine runs anywhere from 75 - 125 a month. Then again, a good 3/5's of my walls are windows, and cooling this place is a nightmare.

Rates are going up a bit here too. I'd love to put up a grid-tie wind turbine, but I don't think that would fly with the homeowners association.

1/2 of my place is windows that run from floor to ceiling and my power is still that cheap...pretty lucky
yeah, I realize that but don't know the answer...I need to pay it today so I'll check
I just saw on the news last week that ours is going up again. Time to purchase energy efficient light bulbs and keep a closer eye on the thermostat.

Are you wanting making fuck berserker?
When I was living in an apartment I was on the fourth floor. As a result, I never had to turn on the electric heat. Not once. More often than not I had to open windows to cool things down to the lower 70's. My electric bill was like 25 bucks a month unless I turned on the A/C

I dunno, my boyfriend works for an electricity company so I'm sure he'd break it down into single unit cost. All I know is I pay around $14 a week for my electricity meter. So that's $60 a month, give or take $10 depending on what we do.
