My electric bill went up $47 this last month.


Same apartment. Same usage. Same appliances.
I called to ask why.
Then I looked at the actual breakdown.
Delivery charge: $38
Grid modernization fee: $12
Renewable energy surcharge: $9
Fuel adjustment charge: $22
Meter reading fee: $6
Actual electricity used: $47
I paid $87 in fees to receive $47 worth of electricity.
My bill wasn’t $47.
It was $134.
They don’t charge you for the product anymore.
They charge you for everything around it.
Check your utility bill. Every single line.
The number at the top is never the real number.
