I see plenty of cars that don't even bother clearing off their back window.

Too late for that. Most people don't commute to offices anymore. There is already an over abundance of vacant office space. I was driving through Livingston a couple weeks ago and they had heavy machinery literally knocking down an office building.

looks like you have 2 months of electricity there.

Dec 13 - Jan 09, then Jan 10 - Feb 08.

Generation is what you pay for power. I'm guessing you have JCP&L generate your power, but you could have a third party if that's something you wanted (or got conned into).
Delivery is what the power company charges to allow your power to come to you over their wires. If you get power generated by others, they still have to bring it to you. So, they break out delivery charges separate from generation.

Your generation is probably dictated by your local tariff. You have a basic amount per KWH for the entire amount, then there is an extra charge for the different levels of service.
This gets complex, so you may want to find their tariff page on their website, or possibly on the State Board of Public Utilities (BPU) site. Make sure you identify which power provider is supplying your generated power.

I don't get why they switch from 3 lines in generation or 3 lines in delivery.
It could be that things changed for the 1st of the year. It could be that they are bad at writing bills.

Has anyone played SimCity? If you haven’t, give it a shot and see how hard it is to get the perfect balance. It’s hard not to increase taxes and give the town all it wants. Great game

I've been keeping up with labor news through a lot of the leftist podcasts I listen to. Some of the things these workers have to ask for will leave you dumbfounded like proper grievance procedures and healthcare benefits. These are full-time employees of businesses that make millions of dollars a year asking for a functional workplace and a wage that would keep them from being homeless. It's infuriating.

I think at this point you'd have to do paper registration and get it marked at the post office as having been mailed on 2-28

I recently moved into a new house with JCPL as my electric provider, previously I had PSE&G. PSE&G bills were pretty simple to understand, looked the same every month and showed you your charges.

The charges for my first 2 months are very different, 3 delivery charges in one month vs 3 generation charges in another month. On top of the fact it looks like this variable billing they have is charging for the full amount of kWh used, not individual portions.

I called into JCPL and spoke to no less than 3 representatives and when I started asking questions they informed me they don't make the bills and could not explain anything to me, when my wife asked to speak to the billing department she said they don't speak to customers. They referred me to their tariff page which is a quagmire and hard to dissect. Is anyone familiar with their bills and could possibly explain it to me?

Thanks in advance.

I am sure not all people will not want their schools merged with their neighboring towns. People paid a premium to buy homes with good schools and probably don’t mind paying extra in property taxes to continue that benefit.
