NHEC sticker shock

thinkxingu · 01-18-2023, 12:10 PM

NHEC rates went from 9.62¢ to 16.98¢ per kWh back in August, so you should've seen a sizable increase back then.

Anything other than that is either stuff still drawing power or an NHEC error, right?

The rate will drop to 13.78¢ on February 1st.

Oh I know about the increase! The only things drawing are the septic pump and circulator which is on a thermostat and timer. I had a thought that it might just be an estimated amount based on past usage, but we moved out end of November.

My electric bill is 'up' by ab out 40% ! Not sure folks can do anything about this increase by utility company.

No plans to change my way of living or cutting back electrical use.

I would call NHEC. Since meter readings are taken from the meter electronically, the power outages may have screwed things up. And since the billing is for one month usage, then you really have a reason to call them ASAP.

Let us all know what they say.
