Had a big (broken link removed) in MD recently also; mine went up 39%, Baltimore went up 72%.

We are lucky up here in Ontario, currently paying 5.5cents/kwhr.

It still doesn't make up for the fact that just about everything costs more up here, not to mention our hefty taxes. :-/ But heck we'll take whatever we can get :lol:

Hey Gunner, don't forget to add in our delivery charges, debt reduction charges, etc.

The cost per kWh is like only half the bill.

I know, I know just felt like rubbing some salt in the wounds is all.

so what do you pay per KW-hr when you take the total bill and divide it by the KW-hrs consumed?

Good question, I will have to find a bill and see...

Thr reason I ask is because although we here in Ohio don't have much electricity generated by cheaper hydro, the actual generation cost is about 4.9 cents/Kw-hr here in the Dayton, Ohio area. Add in all the other fees (transmission cost, tax, etc) and it's about 10 cents/Kw-hr which isn't too bad.....

Actually, the General Assembly stepped in and cut a deal with BGE to keep the rate hike at 15% for now. This also includes a monthly surcharge of a few bucks for the next ten years for all rate payers. BGE will then increase the rates incrementally. I expext another hike come May of this year.
