So it sounds like New England is about as high as it gets in the USofA. (I was used to what we paid in Colorado which was under a nickel) I only included the kwh price but we also have a daily service charge of $.362/day, a notice charge of $2.50, and an energy efficiency charge of 1.49%. I get to pay these twice as the electric service to the barn is separate from the house. It can get pretty expensive, but I do have our office in the house, so we don't have to pay it again at a separate office... I guess it's the price we pay for living in heaven, tho it sounds like Ebbie has it at a cheaper price!And Gypsy, I definitely hear you. D'you suppose you'd be better off to secede from California and join Oregon?
