Wow 12 Volt Man! I would kill for only .057 per kwh
I just grabbed my last bill. our rates have gone up. we pay $0.058 now..lol
thats one thing about utilities here in Ontario, they are relatively cheap compared to some places in the States.
I know fellow MFKer's in parts of California pay literally 10x what I am paying for hydro/water.
my combined water/wastewater bill is about $90 for two months usage, so around $45 per month.
what gets us here is all the other charges on the bill. the actual electricity usage is about 1/2 of the total bill. there is delivery charges, regulatory charges and all kinds of other stuff. its stupid.
also, one thing that my help your grandma is to go on an equal billing plan.
it makes it easier to budget as you would pay the same amount each month.
I am on a plan where I pay $108 per month for electricity and water/wastewater (they are combined on one bill that comes every two months).
so 6 times per year I get a bill, but I pay an equal amount (that is smaller) 12 times per year. so it is easier on the pocketbook.
