Electricity Rates

So what does everyone pay for electricity in WT? Our landlord sends us a bill but it is not broken out into delivery, supply, taxes. We are charged ~36 cents a kWh. Does that sound fair?

Last 2 electric bills at residential rate.

932 kWh $216.50 23 cents

976 kWh $221.08 22.7 cents

Maybe he's giving you clean wind powered electric. I think you should send him a thank you note.

wow you use a lot of electricity

my bill has only been over $100 once, and that was in august when 2 ac's were going.

Let's see. 4 kids 2 adults 2 frigs 3 laptops 4 desktops 4 acs 5 tvs 2 dogs 2 cats one of those roast beef red lamps for the old cat washer dryer DW shop tools, Speedotrons (5) assorted fans to move the ac air. last 2 bills were less than half of the $514 for august. I'm still thinking...

have you looked into the green power switch from Coned? you get 7% off for 2 months as well as elimination of taxes. after the 2 months you have to pay market rates for the electricity, though it is possible to just switch back to coned depending on the particulars of your contract.

ours is $0.19.8 per kwh plus $0.072 per for delivery plus a basic service charge plus taxes.

that's the rate for commercial electric in the city--what i pay in my studio to fire my kiln, down in a warehouse in bush terminal.

why is your landlord not letting you have your own electric? (and mine hovers around the $80 a month unless it's summer, then it's closer to $200. )

See II. Direct Metering and Submetering Sounds like you should actually be paying less for your electric than I am. Reading further will tell you he needed permission to submeter. Obviously he is submetering from a business account as brooklynpotter points out the commercial rate.
