I believe I am going to be able to lock-in to a flat rate of $0.128/kWh here once the pandemic rates are removed and TOU is enabled again.
Gas Prices Are Going Up

Come on people, are we forgetting all the weather disruptions from the ice storms in the middle of the country the last two weeks? Especially in Texas. Where most of the oil refineries are. It doesn't take a genius to understand why gas prices have gone up recently.

Does that include transmission fees? My fees cost me more than the electricity I use!

No, delivery is separate. It does however loosely couple with demand, so it goes up if your usage goes up.

My grampa is in the same boat, I asked if he wanted any LED light bulbs one time and he said it didn't matter because the fees on his electric bill exceed the amount of electricity he uses so cutting back doesn't really benefit him any since he uses so little as it is.
There are so many added fees on my electric bill that I can't bear reading through them. The fee for the privilege of being their customer was always one of my favorites. For some years there had been another added fee of about $1.75 every month for "customer energy education". That amounted to a twice per year pamphlet about unplugging your standby electric draws.
I forget the name of it but there's some fee that contributes to the light bulbs at select retailers that are subsidized by AEP, I made sure to stock up on several boxes of $1 2-packs of 100W equivalent LED bulbs and $0.97 4 packs of 60W equivalent bulbs when they were available since I already paid for them.
$2.55 for regular Friday. Up 6 cents from a week ago.
The traded price of gasoline jumped 5 cents in one day to $1.95 and is now the highest since Aug of 2019, ( pre-C).

Mine is the same way, but there are extra fees in there too that make I more expensive than my electricity.
Together, something like $0.20/kWhr
They are all going up. Get ready for summer prices.
Paid $3.69 today for regular. It's gone up $.20 a week for the last three weeks.
$3.18 for rag at Costco today. Of course, Costco lines go up when gas gets this expensive.
Since we swayed towards electric and natural gas cost, why not rags?
I get nice terry cloth rags for $1.00 per pound at the local university laundry. Price hasn't changed in 10 years, unlike gasoline which has had a peculiar characteristic over the past many decades to fluctuate wildly due to many factors. Go figure - that notion that history often repeats itself, in this case, even if you do study it and take heed. Maybe better to just bury one's head in the sand? Glad I didn't buy that gas guzzler last spring.
Good night all. Wishing everyone a good work week.
I don’t buy the logic.....a 5 day cold snap in Texas drives up gas prices all across the nation ???
I call BS !!!
It’s all about taking advantage of the population
Just an accuse to charge more is all it is
If this nation can’t weather a 5 day cold snap
We’re all screwed big time
The oil field guys north of Texas work in much worse conditions most of the time everyday of the week
More than a cold snap. Did you see the pictures of the trucks jackknifed all over the ice covered roads or read about all power outages? Can't refine oil into gasoline without power, and can't ship gas without passable roads.

Pipelines
I live in Georgia
All the gas from Texas is pumped through a massive pipeline system
With thousands of huge tank storage
Millions of gallons in storage
As soon as the cold happen in Texas
Prices started climbing !!!!!
