Cost of electricity
I was wondering how come the electricity in my office was not lower after I made some serious improvements/changes.
I compared 12/21 bill vs 6/22. I about floored me. kw/h 12/21 $0.0161 6/22 $0.0289 Holy crap that is a jump. The company is Evergy. This will probably end up in DC. But there are a number of posts related to money in the lounge. |

Most likely are using natural gas to generate electricity. Have a look at the NG price chart of the last year or so.

When a utility company has an excuse to fist you, fist you they shall.

In TX, we shop for our provider. I signed a 3 year contract last summer for the cheapest rate I could find: .058

You just have to wade through the loads of providers and the plethora of offerings from each one. There are a few websites that consolidate search results for you so you can get a general idea of what's reasonable, then you can take a deep dive into the electricity facts sheet. I gobbled up that 3 year deal with the expectation of inflation and skyrocketing energy costs. I was right. I'm scared to think how high the next contract will be. |

Isnt the "solar generator" the sun? Is someone trying to charge you for sunlight? I've been over here selling bridges but there's a guy out there charging for the sun. I gotta step up my game.

Dang looking at some of what you all pay I shouldn't complain. Do electric co's charge more for commercial property than residential? |

Years ago I chose an all renewables generator which cost more than the PPL rate until this past month when the PPL rate went up. Now I am paying less for renewables than PPL is charging for whatever combination they are offering. |

This is my local city run utility rates (Midwest mo)
Set in tiers and the tiers for commercial properties are quite different than residential. |
