Electrical energy charges [for a House & Garage...]
90kwh consumed [September 18 too October 18]
$0.88 Credit from last bill
$5.33/90kwh [$0.059/kwh]
$6.25 Administration Charge
$11.58 Sub Total
Delivery Charges
$17.81 Distribution Charge

$33.14 Total New charges
So the actual cost for 90kwh on my side of the meter is $0.368/kwh
I payed $27.81 for the delivery of $5.33 worth of electricity!
I have had bills of $24.00 for the consumption of 0kwh!
Just emagine if it cost you $27 to drive onto a gas station lot to buy $5 worth of fuel?
We might all be driving electric cars.
What puzzels me is, if most other businesses can calculate and include fixed costs' into the price, why can't utillity companies?
At least then if I used 0 kwh I wouldn't get a bill, and I would be the beneficiary of my effort to be "economical".
