Good for you Steve. Guess it all depends on what your power co. is charging for kwhs and fuel charges. Our state and counties get a cut too. It is big, big business in Florida.

BTW this home is around 2500+ sq. ft. Our heating/cooling systems are the most energy efficient, designed by my personal mechanical engineer spouse. I am down to around 950 kwh per month right now. That is a good 1500 kwh less than most homes this size. I don’t know what else to cut. I still enjoy cooking indoors and reading by lamp at night. Then there is this darn computer. Can’t give that up just yet.

Our total kwh nearly hits 2,000 in Dec and Jan, falls to 700-800 in the spring. I think electricity is 6.5 cents per kwh IIRC. Heat pump is an old 1999 model - 9 seer, I think. Don’t know how anyone but Rush Limbaugh can afford power down there.
