Electric hasn't gone up yet, but I'll use that additional 9% as a starting point for what our bill will be starting in 2023 for budgeting purposes.
Sorry, Brandon! I won't be adding ONE DIME to 'your' awful economy until you are GONE. Food & Gas; nothing more. Every home project or additional expense is officially on hold.
Rising prices mostly affect those who are not on the government plantation.
And yet, the state still elected Bony Beavers, unfortunately. Wisconsin still has her work cut out for her.
I would suggest that the GOP legisl00ture pass Florida-style election laws, and when Governor Beavers vetoes them, just cast him across the world on all available media as the Cheatin’ Democrat that he is.
My Jan 2021 electric bill total (including all fees, taxes, PCRF) was 10.63 cents/kwh and my latest electric bill was 15.38 cents/kwh - a 45% increase. My electric Co-op has not raised rates. It is all from the PCRF (power cost recovery item). We still have a lawsuit hanging over our rates resulting from the Feb 2021 Texas power disaster which is likely to be a significant cost increase for years.
Holy sh*t (re: your propane bill)! Your ‘not one dime’ is excellent advice...been doing that for some time.
Only the first of many rate hikes coming. The reason that the increases in electricity have not come even faster is because these new rates have to be approved by the utilities commission, and they can be very slow-walking bureaucrats when the mood suits them. It will go up by little bits and drabs, but the inflation just keeps on compounding, as artificial scarcities continue to accumulate.
Wind and solar power are not viable sources of electrical energy. Fifteen years from now, the ghostly sentinels of the abandoned windmill towers will dot the landscape, because they are just too expensive to remove, intermingled with the huge scrap piles of the deteriorated panels from the solar farms, stripped from the plains and hillsides as the land is returned to higher and better use, for grazing or field crops.
Electricity will be too expensive for most home use. Goodbye, lighting and operation of appliances.
Maybe people can consult the Mother Earth News for ways to operate a homestead without electricity.
$1975.00? For how many gallons?
8% !!! Is that all!!!
Here in NH we had a 123% increase in the supply cost from about $.11/kwh to $.24/kwh starting this past August.
They’ll get no sympathy from most of the people in the country.
Food & Gas; nothing more

We’ve heard nothing from our co-op, but there are 2 incremental adjustments on the last bill, on the order of fractions of a percent increase for the total kWhs. We used a whopping 480 kWh in October.
What did your propane work out to per gallon? We are stocked until our normal refill in February.
With you on the strike. We have enough clothing/shoes for the rest of our lives. We _may_ need a new vehicle eventually, but we are waiting until the prices return to reality.
