I am curious what our So. Cal members here pay for electricity and natural gas.
We have two I think, members who are in So. Cal.
Average nationwide is supposed to be like 12 cents kWh, I pay 30 cents give or take depending on if I use too much, then I get penalized. They changed the way the bill is done (or if it has always been this way I only noticed it a few years ago, ten at the most), there is generation charges and delivery charges, and when I add them together this is my average, and it is too damn high of course, but we know why dont we, a for profit company while regulated is in charge of whether or not we freeze to death, etc. It is of course absolutely ridiculous to have any utility not completely public owned.
My natural gas is $2.20 per therm.
Electricity rates, state by state, or within a state...

I sigh in your general direction.

Average in SC is 12.99 cents which is below the national average.
I don't know what mine is but I believe it to be less than that. We get our power through the coop which buys it from Duke powers catawba nuclear power station.
Funny thing is that because our coop is non profit we pay less per kwh that local Duke customers who aren't part of the coop.
Some socialism is good not much but some definitely is.
What I don't like is poor people pay more per kwh than others because their more likely to live in poorly insulated homes. My home being newer gets the lowest rate. Next up we are going to.look into solar panels once the tax credit kicks in.

A co-op is not a form of socialism. It's an association of companies and/or people who "cooperate" to provide goods or services. You said your co-op is nonprofit which means the profits don't go to the owners but goes to fund the organization.Glennfs wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 2:01 pm Average in SC is 12.99 cents which is below the national average.
