My PGE bill is a little over 50c per kilowatt hour. Its starting to become like a second mortgage or car payment for some. Wondering what other people are paying for their power.

    Dynamic pricing contract. Planning when to charge the car, running dishwasher etc is small effort.

    Adding 5KW solar panels and a change of contract, from >€500 to something like €75. Family of 4, pretty heavy usage.

        Inclusive tax, but exclusive service fee, handling fee, network fee, administrative fee, etc. You get the picture.

        We are getting screwed by the energy companies and the infrastructure companies. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

        At least (some of us) are getting money back, when your solar production exceeds your consumption. But that is going to change soon.

          The same thing is happening in the US. Solar panels used to be a lot more expensive to install, but the amount many utilities would pay your for excess generation was also a lot higher.
