Electric bill increase
Just got my electric bill for the month. I thought it looked a little high, even for summer. There's a nice little line at the bottom that says "Rates were increased effective 8/1/08 by 12.4 % to offset the 14% increase in power costs from our provider." 
12.4% ???????? I guess it's a good darn thing I try to conserve as much energy as possible. It just seems like every step to conserve gets rewarded by a kick in the a**.

I feel ya. Mine says that the weather caused an increase in our enery bill by $40+ ...that is such a crock. We use window a/c's and we didn't use any more than the month before. Actually, we probably used them less because this past month I have not used the one in the computer room and I had the one in the bedroom off most of the time when we weren't in there.

I feel for ya. We got our bill and it was 30 bucks higher! We ran our air like 7 times for 10 mins. maybe just to knock out the humidy! I was like this has to be a joke! But what do you do? We did get a letter with ours saying they are trying to do rates changes. Our zone would actually decreas 1.5%
Our a couple bucks per month. But hey I'M NOT complaining about that!!!

I feel for you.
Within the span of 1 year we have had every utility go up at least once.
So although I am using a lot less electricity than last year my bill has actually gone up quite a bit. Go figure!

I saw in the paper that our natural gas bills are going up this month. Probably about a $30 a month increase. Looks like it's going to be a bundle up kind of winter. Plenty of sweatshirts and socks for this crew.
I remember when natural gas heat was the only way to go. Now our electric bill seems to be less expensive her khw than gas. It just never ends.

I may not be a rocket scientist but my electric company must use some kind of new math. When they say, for example, that our bills are going up 50% mine doubles. Go figure.

I know how it is, too. Ours was $100 more last month than the month before (and $100 more than this time last year in our old, drafty house). The co-op warned us of an increase, but that hike is ridiculous.

Yup ours is going up 20% in October =/
Pretty soon we'll all be going back to the Little House on the Prairie days lol
