The Power Bill.

[Jackalope]

My wife was talking to my SIL up in Ohio tonight and she said their power bill was out of control. She lives in London between Dayton and Columbis and has AEP. She said she used 1,100 KWH last month and her bill is $470! Her rate is 40 cents per KWH. That's crazy! Is anyone else's that high up there? My rate with the co-op here is 12c per KWH, I used 3,091 KWH and my bil is $371. 40c per KWh is lunacy!

Since 11/20/25, or 58 months, since we started paying on our 100% electric home is avg. overall usage of 2,362KWH at $0.142-$0.146/KWH. New data center just go live by them by chance?

I'd have to look at cost over kilowatt, but I can tell you the bill itself is about 1/3 to 1/2 higher year to year. AEP is advertising pointing their fingers at the energy suppliers and suggests shopping rates. It's a distraction from the increased transmission rates they are receiving. They have a monopoly in many areas and some of us have no other option. It's a racket.
