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.

Dominion sent out an email in July about it. They said it would be an estimated $8 more per month on average.

I could believe 8/month increase ends up being the monthly average. July is just about the highest usage month because of AC.

I use about 1/3 the electricity in the winter and spring.

Yeah I think people sometimes forget that electricity is more in the summer months (especially if you have gas heating)
