    I’m more shocked at the cost of electricity wherever this is…that’s like triple what I pay for a 1300sqft house with a 35year old heat pump that runs 24/7

    turns out that company does gas and electricity. makes more sense it could be combined services

      My rates aren’t actually too bad, my usage was just really high at ~1300 kWh lmao

        32¢/kWh still seems kinda high; my power is only 11¢/kWh. Though maybe I just live in a very energy-rich location.

          32c/kWh seems straight up insane to me. Peak rates are half that where I live (around 15c/kWh), and overnight rates are a third (around 10c). These aren’t even the cheapest rates to be found in North America. Pretty sure that nod goes to Quebec, where they pay less than 7c/kWh for the first 40kWh each month, and 10c/kWh beyond that.

            32c/kWh sounds good to me. During peak times I’m paying close to 50c/kWh, on top of the daily supply charge of around $1.50

            But at least I get 2c/kWh solar feed in tariff 🙃
