Okay, so I'm not crazy. I've not seen any wildly different billing this year so I feel like an outlier. We are on a balanced billing plan but that still allows me to track actual usage compared to what we're paying per month.

We have an 1100 sf two-floor home, unfinished basement, fairly poor insulation. Our electric has been around $65 a month and our gas (heat and hot water) has been around $130-$160 a month since November. We keep the thermostat between 65-68. Only do cold water clothes washing. No dishwasher.

Yeah my entire bill was $160. $105 was delivery and $55 for supply. The biggest jump for me was peak usage. Most of my usage in previous months was off peak usage. Im guessing now that its winter its all considered peak usage and thus charged at a higher rate. I also had a big jump in distribution adjustment charges. I tried looking to see what exactly that is and it seems like its just something they make up to charge more.

I went there for the first time yesterday because I was in the area. The rec line was getting longer and longer with like 3 registers opened and then four or five baked employees huddled around one computer doing who knows what.

It's a drab depressing setup and I felt dirty after I left. I've never been to a place like that and I definitely won't be going back
