Um, your math is off a bit. 225 + 200 + 200 is 625 not 900 to 1200.

The first step is in determining the variable costs and the fixed costs. You can reduce the variable costs with self-generation, (solar, wind, hydro) fixed costs are likely fixed.

So start with accurate costing and totals.

Thanks. Yeah I was drawing up off memory & an old screenshot from January.

Her bill listed 222.84 in generation services. 188.86 in fuel factor at 0.0413900 per kWh. 176.04 transmission services 101.02 distribution services

Some taxes etc and a final charge of 1359.78. I'm remembering now that they did overcharge her & we talked about that w the power company getting a credit for the next bill. My mistake on that. But yeah for the last several months her bill has consistently been extremely high, 900 this past month, 1100 a prior month.

Her kWH usage is 4562 per month & I'm really not sure how she gets to that, she literally drives between 1 & 2 hours to work and back every day depending on location so she's only home in the evenings.
