Let’s take a look at the Electric portion of your monthly utility bill.

On the top it shows you the number of kilowatts you used in your last billing cycle.


There are 3 basic types of charges that you should concern yourself with when analyzing your electric bill.

1. Billing fee charge, this is what your utility charges you just for being a customer.
2. The Supply Charges cover the cost of generating electricity and are determined by two factors – the quantity of electricity consumed and the price per kilowatt of electricity. Costs to generate power at power plants continues to increase year after year in a very big way.
3. The Delivery charges cover the infrastructure used to transfer the energy from its original source to your home. In this example, the delivery charges are more than ½ of the monthly electricity bill amount.

There are a tremendous amount of fixed costs needed to generate and distribute energy. Our grid and infrastructure are old, it’s fragile and it’s dilapidated, it’s essentially poles holding up poles. Every time you drive by and see a utility worker working on a power line, think of all the power lines and poles, think of the number of workers, trucks, insurances, taxes, benefits, and all the other costs involved to keep this wheel turning.. and don’t forget that utilities have-to continue to grow profits for their shareholders, this is a business and it’s about profitability --- for them!

And what happens when we get hit by the next superstorm, which seems to happen more frequently than not. These superstorms are causing havoc on our infrastructure, and we keep putting band-aids on a broken and fragile system. Costs keep rising. How much more can this camel's back take?

We’re still paying for Hurricane Sandy and another similar devastation's across our country.

There is no protection to these increases.

However, you can control your own power generation and delivery, using cleaner, cheaper, greener, price-protected power.

There is a reason why solar makes sense on so many levels.
