GP bills may be higher because of an increase in how much they had to pay for coal or whatever source used to provide electricity for the community during that month. They pass this increase on to the customer, making a GP bill higher than usual. Your bill will reflect how much energy you used and is not connected to what your neighbor used or didn’t use.

All the careless ppl are being hit by a 400-600 bill because they thought it's smart to have your heat setup at 70+ degrees when it's under 30 outside lol. @Margielu my Dec 14-Jan 16 bill is $124 and that’s for an all electric 2100sqft house.Sounds reasonable to me.

Why should we be charged more now than those who cranked theirs up to 75? We used sweaters and warm clothing, while others may have enjoyed using mor energy. Why raise rates for all? We were miserly with our usage in sub-freezing weather. Why punish us all for those who refused to conserve? We have our heater set on 66 F.
