Taxes are everywhere on electricity….

In my case they be would be correct. Wildly correct.

So far I've used 12 MW this billing year @ .53 cents a KWH plus connection fees - that would be a 6500 bill this year. (at min)

I paid 20K for the system 2.5 years ago.

Thats like a 3 year ROI. Every time they raise the price, the ROI gets better.

7 KWh? Lol as you see I am using 404 KWh this month, granted the hottest month and highest AC usage. This month will be $26 out of pocket, although in reality it goes against the annual credit I have, so far $250 or so. So yeah, solar has almost been paid (I paid $23K 5 years ago.)

Here’s a bill from B.C., which is almost 100% hydro. This bill is for the two summer months of July and August and is mostly for air conditioning. The prices are in two tiers, the first tier of under 1287 kWh hrs of consumption and the 2nd tier for over 1287. This resets every two months so you start over again at the lower tier. Social engineering at its best.
The amounts are in CDN dollars. Multiply by 0.7 for USD. Plus a quarter per day for coffee money.
