It’s electric bill time again. Whee!

As expected, after the utility’s grossly over-estimated bill last month, my bill this month was the lowest it’s been in at least 20 years. A modest $14. But that’s for an even more modest 53 kWh.

My eyes about bugged out of my head, however, when I saw that our cost per kilowatt hour took a gigantic leap upwards this month. From last month’s already high 17¢ to 27¢ per kWh!!! That’s a huge hike in prices. Since our electricity is produced using natural gas and I suspect that’s where the major price jump came from, I can hardly wait to see my gas bill this month. Geez.

Anyway. Time for another pretty electricity usage graph. I like the developing trend.
