Since Texas is the only state that is unrelated in the power grid and brokers electricity based on price and demand. Well, the stats are starting to come in for consumption prices and it's a bit crazy. For instance; CIBC’s Babin noted that Texas’ unregulated market is exacerbating the price swings as energy producers are forced to buy megawatts in the open market. Some of the heightened cost could end up on Texas consumers’ utility bills. Companies such as Griddy — which gives consumers access to wholesale electricity prices — have outlined ways for its users to switch power providers in an effort to shield them from volatile price swings.
“The power price is usually about $20, $30, $40 per megawatt hour, and because of extreme events, the price of power hit the $9,000 cap. That’s very extreme,” said Ron Silvestri, senior analyst at Neuberger Berman.
My bill might be 10 x the megawatt charge some months @ 10 x $30 = $300. For this month 10 x $9,000 = well you can do the math. Lights out! Turn off that puter! Kill the heat pump! Stop flushing those toilets! Sorry folks, lure prices have to go up Blessings, Mark I hope you bill isn’t as high as this man from Arlington, Tx. Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!! https://www.foxnews.com/us/some-tex...ket-as-high-as-17000-during-winter-storm

I got on a budget plan, they just round off a years worth of bills to come up with what the average per month is so no matter how much i use or don't use my bill is the same every month, no shocks and surprise's. Currently it's 187.00 a month.
TX has the dumbest power system ive ever heard of! Sounds ALOT like Birmingham water and sewer scheme, most who were involved in it went to prison! 800.00 a month water bills were common!
Not my circus, not my clowns.

Just got a text from our electric provider that assures all residents they serve that the recent spike in electricity cost will be prorated on customer's bills over the next ten years. Interesting.

I got my current bill today, it is from January 14th to February 16th of this year, the amount is $685.05. You might recall earlier in this thread I predicted it would be over $600, dang near made $700.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

That's crazy Mark, I had no idea your utilities were completely unregulated like that. Our electric utility is a Co-op, run by a board elected by members. Rate changes are also subject to state approval. I pay right about 25 cents per KWH, all fees and charges included. My price to compare is .0567/hr but when u divide total monthly bill by kwh it comes out to $.1465/kwh!!! Almost triples!!!

So, the Guy that got the $17,000.00 bill , will see an additional amount of $141.67 EVERY MONTH on top of his usual electric bill , for the next 10 YEARS ????
