This is not sustainable
To preface, I am not concerned with my usage. This is purely about the staggering public benefits charge.
Me again with a new all-time high score! $236 in Public Benefits. This bill is $189 MORE than last year despite being 4 cents per kWh LESS. My Supply and Transmission in 2024 were more; my delivery was $50 less and my Public Benefits charge was 7% or 46.35. 30% is fucking absurd and I am powerless to do anything about it and hopeless that anything will change.
I am fortunate enough to be able to pay this, albeit with strain. There are many who are not. What's to stop the public benefits from continuing as more and more households are unable to pay their exorbitant bills? Where the FUCK are our leaders? Where is our representation?!
EDIT: I have a heat pump. My heat is electric. My house has been energy audited. My usage is in line with expectation.
EDIT 2: My yearly average kWh is 1348 per month. Please stop commenting about usage if you are not familiar with electric heat or electricity in general.
