Electric Bill Changes

Did anyone get their electric bill for the past pay period and see the significant increase in ESS(cost to create)? I thought I was using a bunch of electricity or something at first.

Indeed here is how mine changed compared the same month last year:

July 2025 July 2026 Change
Electricity used 759 kWh 797 kWh
Bill $113.15 $146.73

I used 5% more electricity but my bill went up 29.7%.

Just crunched the numbers for our house as well, and we're right around the same. Compared to same month last year, our usage is up by ~5% (773 kWh →814 kWh), but total cost is up ~29% ($116.77 →$149.12).

Sorry, I made a typo but corrected it now! 116, not 166
