Electricity bill - WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

[AB]

Yes I know, another rant thread not even remotely close to anything about Patrols...lol

Seriously though....We just got our electricity bill for the quarter.....WTF!!!

We try our hardest to keep consumption down....Pretty much have 3 energy saving lights on at night, TV, computer, 1 x fridge and the wood heater going.

$650 bill just turned up....Exactly the same amount of KW from last year's bill at the same time which was $450.

Can't wait until summer time with the splitty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Electricity rates have gone up ridiculous!!!


I should of put a 5kw solar system on this house 5 years ago when the good grants were going around and it would of been paid off now....

Rant complete, thanks for reading and good night!!!!

Check the bill AB, most of the utilities companies are stinging customers with fixed charges like connection fees etc.
It means the consumer often can't do anything to reduce their bills anyway. No government seems prepared to do anything about it either. A total effing rort.


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

It's funny you say that as there is a fixed rate called "Domestic Single Rate Standing Charge" of $95.....I don't even know what that is and I don't remember seeing that on any of the past bills either.

Check your meter they might have just billed you for the average ,do you have a dog or something that would stop them getting access to your power box?

Nah It's all open for access....Has to walk past the awesomeness of the mighty GQ which might of frightened him due to It's awesomeness but I doubt it....lol

I remember signing up not long ago at 20 cents per KW and now It's up to 28.9 cents + that stupid fixed rate mentioned above.

Yeah mate, Living costs+expenses+homeloans+wages....Doesn't add up and going to get worse indeed!!!

Arrr, more ranting....lol

You have to wonder what that means for the pensioners doing it tough they can barely afford food let alone their utilities. I give my nan $100 a fortnight just to have some spare cash floating about only because I can afford it this year cause my wife is now back full time working
