Just received my electric bill for the last month (8/10-9/11) and it's the highest electric bill I've ever paid in my life. $390.46. This is after an almost $300 water bill. Sure am glad for the cooler weather and rain!

Electric --- 222.00

Water--- 81.00

That's on the high side for us.

What was the kw hours difference?

Energy Ogre. Best money that I spend. Since going with them my electricity bill is 50% less than before.

Idaho Power Electric - $5.24 (solar on house)
Nampa City Utilities $64
Irrigation District water $38

Great cost of living here, But I do have a LOT more Californians to deal with!!!

I`d rather have a high electric bill than more liberals bringing their politics to my area. Hopefully just the conservatives are leaving but I doubt it.

2907 ($390.46) vs 2432 ($310.32) last year. Actually, now that you made me look back...it's not that outrageous. Plus, they did notify me recently of a temporary increase in distribution price.

Mine was also the highest it's ever been this past month....4460 kwh, $653. Last year was about 3750 kwh. Glad to have the cooler weather for sure!!

I'm just glad I kept my house cool throughout the heat wave. The money matters but misery matters more.

2350 kWh for $ 235.00 bill. Darned close year-to-year for the hot months. Lowest consumption is spring at 850-1,000 kWh.

But my house is only 2500 sq. ft. We are all electric with 73 deg setpoint for days, 70 for nights.

Same here

I think mine was $620, highest I have ever seen.

Every time I try with them, they tell me that they cannot match what I already found on my own. I would love to cut mine in half!

Electric / Water (Well) / Sewer(aerobic) and shop = 274.00 for all and I have run a sprinkler and sprinkler system every day for the past 90 days until 2 days ago. 70 degrees at night and 77 degrees at during the day for 2258 sq. ft. All electric except gas cook top.

Elect - 219.00
Water - 385.00
I usually keep the thermostat at 78°. I did keep the grass and most shrubs alive.

Calling Bill Oxner

$348 this month...Water was about $140. 2000 sq ft house that we keep at 72 during the day and 68 at night, plus a pool pump. Still too freaking high. Praying rates start going down in a month or two once the heat subsides.

$436 includes electric, sewer, water, trash collection.

Mine got up to around the $600 mark and we had more insulation blown in and solar screens added. It helped alot and we are going to compare bills next year since it has gotten cool.

For those who've been shopping, what's the best $/kwh that you've seen? I believe I'm at 14.6 cts/kwh.

I've been at 12.9 for maybe 1 1/2 years. Powertochoose.org is showing low to middle 11's for my zip code.

Thanks Jimbo.

Gone

But Not Forgotten.........

"Pay that man his money"...embrace the suck!

Electric last month was 26 - but 22.50 of that was monthly co-op service charge.
Water is normally around 40 but last month was 101 but found and fixed leak 2 days ago - with the drought here, it took a while for water to make it to the surface so I could find it.
Keep my thermostats at 68 and sleep under a sheet and blanket at night.

I'm glad I started adding solar in 2016 - I'm up to 10.2kw of panels now.
The solar water heater setup saves about 50 a month and I don't have cold water problems.

These are the highest August bill we have seen.

TXU Svl Aug - $332.75
WaterSvl Aug - $202.96
TXU Farm Aug - $306.78
Water Farm Aug - $143.11
