Colorado – In the past, our highest energy bills were whichever month was coldest in the winter (usually January or February), at about $130.

November 2022 was very cold and may turn out to have been the coldest month of this winter. Our bill was about $200.

But it’s a lot worse than it sounds, because we got a wood stove this year, and used it a lot already. I’m guessing without burning wood, the bill might have been $300…maybe more….

n.w. iowa 3600 sq ft house we are in a co-op and from oct-april we get a heating credit for the furnace and water heater.last months bill was $248 dollars,previous year was $260.we used less power and the days were colder this year.only thing i can figure is the new windows we installed over the summer helped cut our usage.i also use lp to heat my shop and 3 car attached garage my fireplace,pool heater and grill.i have a 500 and a 1000 gallon lp tanks and those were topped off in early august for $1.61 a gallon.those will last me 3 years so i can pick and choose when i top them off.

I have noticed Electric bills really increasing (~30%?). Thankfully locked in low NatGas, but that will be ending soon. Gasoline creeping up again.

20% where we are in Texas (all electric)

NW Wisconsin. From June 2020 to September 2021 35% increase in propane. Additional 7% increase to August 2022 for a total of 42% increase. 60% increase in summer electric rates and 20% increase in winter electric rates since June 2020. Fairly mild winter so far but started a month early.

My business rate is $.13 p/kwh.
Got a notice of a coming rate increase.
Dominion Energy bought out SCEG a few years ago.

Gasoline is hovering around $3 p/gal.

Tripled. Everything has pretty much tripled. I used to have $1000 of disposable income each month, after all bills were paid. That money has been sucked up by rising energy and food costs. Energy costs have risen approximately $600-$700/month. We have been making choices and the once simple things are now luxury items for us. Date night with the wife or gas in the Subaru (because I had to sell my pickup and it’s 36 gallon tank). Take the kids to the local ice cream parlor to celebrate good grades or put that money towards the electricity bill.

This falls squarely on the shoulders of the politicians and unelected bureaucrats and the only way it will stop is if they openly fear their constituency and term limits on all government workers. No more than 10 years of government service in any capacity, unelected or elected!

So far for electricity, during winter almost a 50% increase here in central Florida.

Bethlehem PA –

Natural Gas increase from 2022 – 4 %

Electricity increase from 2022 – 57 %

I reside in Central FL.

Duke Energy Jan 2022—per kWh

Energy charge: 9.337cents
Fuel charge: 3.681 cents

Duke Energy Jan 2023—per kWh

Energy charge: 9.772 cents
Fuel charge: 5.961 cents

That’s a 4.7 % increase in the energy charge (not too bad).

But……. a WHOPPING 62% INCREASE in the fuel charge!!!!

Natural gas prices are through the roof!!!

This will affect all the goods and services we purchase!!!
Prices will continue to skyrocket!

I say all the NITWITS who voted (I mean cast ballots) for DEMENTIA GUY should pay the increases!!!

PREPARE ACCORDINGLY!

Northern IL, my NICOR bill for natural gas has tripled.

Com Ed, electricity, doubled and they are looking for another rate increase.

And I am stingy with utility usage.

Idaho Falls in SE Idaho. The city generates most of its own energy via turbines in the Snake River. So our electric rates have been stable.

Our heat, though, is from natural gas. That has gone up about 30%.

I keep expecting my utility bills to go up based on the news, but so far, I’m not seeing it. In the 20+ years I’ve lived in my current house in Illinois, I paid the most on average for electricity from 2009-2011 and the most for natural gas from 2007-2009. My current bills are averaging well below those highs. I’ve been on a guaranteed monthly bill plan for gas for a long time and it allows you to call in monthly to see of the rate per therm has gone down. If it has, they are required to lower your monthly bill accordingly. I’ve called to check it twice since I set it up in August and my gas bill is now $20/month less than what I was quoted then. My average electricity bill jumped up in 2018 but has been fairly steady since then. I’m wondering if the cost increases might be based on your state. I’m tired of worrying about things that don’t turn out to be a thing, but it’s not clear to me how to tell the difference except in the rear-view mirror.

Here in Massachusetts, my electricity rates have tripled since sept 22
my oil cost has doubled since las winter.

Gasoline is almost double what it was before the meatsuit took over. Electricity and Nat gas have doubled here in the people’s republic of CalUnicornia.

My PG&E bill has increased by 46%, in the Sacramento region, over the same period last year for home heat and hot water…no gas range. My electricity is provided by a local utility company and is actually lower than the previous year.

Hasn’t been as bad yet as I thought it could be until this month. They raised the energy cost and all the assorted fees also went up. My bill for this time of year in west coast fl is usually around 110 a month, this month with a nice letter telling me why they were raising costs and there may be more was 181.65 That is usually my July bill before the 2 highest in Aug Sept. If this is the low end now we are in bit trouble if bills double. Don’t even want to think of summer. And that is with a gas LP stove and clothes dryer.

PA..rural. Thankfully, our electric is a co-op and the increase has been relatively low, 16%. The propane has not increased yet. Gasoline, however, is higher than the national average at around $4 a gallon. Food has definitely increased, but not as badly as some areas.

Our butane bill decreased. Was 680$ pesos. Yesterday the bill was 580 $ pesos for 20 gallons. Elects staying the same as last year. Approximately $ 1000 pesos for 2 months. $ 25 dollars per month. Water runs…200 pesos for 2 months or $ 5 usd a month. Refuse removal costs $ 18 dollars a year. Picked up 3 times per week.

Seacoast NH.
Our gas heat bill just arrived. $629.36 I looked up the same time period (the usage was the same).
2022 $504.75
2021 $416.83
2020 $389.07

My math skills are rusty…is that 25% increase from last year?
And 62% since 2020?

Electric was $168.27 this month.
$97.37 last January. 42% increase.

2018 equal payment plan….126
2019 equal payment plan….128
2020 equal payment plan….131
2021 equal payment plan….161
2022 equal payment plan…..186
2023 equal payment plan…..226

thank you biden. at least we don’t have to put up with trump’s tweets anymore.

SW OH. Duke electric rates up slightly.

Don’t know about nat gas. I have not received a bill since last summer, but have not had the gas shut off for nonpayment. I have called customer service three times. Evidently, there is a disconnect between meter reading and billing. Hopefully, they give me a break for being honest.

San Diego, CA, at least 50% or more.

Here in southern Colorado my natural gas is supplied by Black Hills Energy. Unit rate has risen from $1.00 per therm (100,000 btu) to $1.70. That’s a 70% increase. Power from the co-op (LPEA) is not much different. December and January bills for this winter and last are about the same.

Here in Utah near Salt Lake City, gas prices at Costco were $3.19/gallon last Sunday for regular. My heating and electricity bills so far seem on par with prior years, but my city has its own utility company and I know we pay less than the average household because of this. Honestly, my energy bills for my house have not changed much over the last several years, but the gas prices at the pump are killing me….

St. Louis, MO area here, all electric home. Just got the bill today.
January 2023 Avg Temp 37F kWh 4581 Cost $328.91 34 days in billing cycle Avg/Day $9.67
January 2022 Avg Temp 35F kWh 4296 Cost $301.50 32 days in billing cycle Avg/Day $9.42

Now in 2022 I was burning a lot of wood. Decide not to burn wood this year. This year had a real bad cold snap for several days at the start of the cycle. Below zero at night, and no arctic blasts really last year. So really, my rates haven’t increased – YET!

I’m in Western Massachusetts, my home heating oil has doubled, my electricity rate has gone up 40%. Gas sits around $3.19-$3,39. That will shoot up soon.

My bill is up from $200.00 per month to $264.00 per month. That’s a 32% increase for electricity.

Southwestern Oregon, propane per gallon: Jan 2020, $2.30, Jan 2023, $4.10 . At 2.2 gallons per day that a chunk of change for a couple of retirees on Social Security. FJB

Related from a friend: pool supplies (chemicals) went from $100 to over $320.

We are still paying off last winter. December is usually $350 but was $550 plus our installment for last winter.

Kind of scary.

In Glorious Ontario Communist Kanada, .97/litre (Pint) Propane. Currently costing $750/month for a 1200 square ft raised bungalow. Up 30%

Electricity $300/mth

Diesel is $8/US gallon here.

So in the WA Pacific Northwest, Puget Sound Energy.

Electrical (Final Bill/Use) Dec 2020 $0.114/kWh to Dec 2022 $0.119/kWh or about a 2% increase per year
Natural Gas (Final Bill/Use) Dec 2020 $1.075/therm to Dec 2022 $1.294/therm or about a 10% increase per year

We upgraded the solar so we should have a very small electrical bill in 2023 and beyond. With the 30% tax credit and the energy savings the cash flow never goes negative and becomes extremely positive depending upon your future price of electricity assumptions. So basically an infinite rate of return.

Plus we make enough surplus we can also provide about 10,000 miles a year for the Chevy Bolt, an all-electric car. So remove 250 gallons of gas/year vs a 40 mpg car.

We also have enough wood to run our Xtrordinair fireplace wood furnace and heat the house for two winters. But at current wood prices, this will only begin to pencil out at about double the current price of Natural Gas. The unit below easily heats a 3000 sqft house to +70F (just running the furnace fan) even with overnight temps at 15F. It converts about 80% of the wood’s energy into heat so it’s very efficient vs a standard fireplace.

We also keep improving our ability to grow our own food which is around 20% of our needs right now. We already have our indoor seed starting plans in place. We are now getting good at harvesting two crops in most locations per year. This year we trying to get three harvests from one location. The plan is to successively start Spring, Summer and Fall plants indoors and then immediately replace the last group with more mature starts in the seasonal window they like the best. If we can duplicate this we could move closer to 35%.

We are doing all the above because we just don’t see near term end to this madness. The additional fear is that it’s going to need to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Anyway, after reading the posts above I feel fortunate that our energy costs are very low in comparison but we have a brain-dead governor still pressing to get rid of our last coal plant in 2025 which provides about 20% of the grid’s demand stabilization capacity. So we may be joining the madness soon enough. Plus he wants carbon taxes as well.

Seriously consider solar if you have electrical prices running at say $0.20/kWh. Your principal and interest payments will be lower than your yearly electrical bill and won’t ‘ever’ increase. Plus you get 30% of the cost directly removed from your final federal tax bill.

As far as producing your own food, start small and work up. Also, expect some failures along the way, caused by you and nature alike. For example last year our apple crop went from ten grocery bags to two. All because a freak windstorm came in and blew off most of the blossoms.

Gasoline in Georgia jumped one whole dolllar in one day last week. My electric has gone up_ but not outrageous. I think it has something to do with having completed a nuclear plant here last year—which customers paid for each month.

SW VA.
AEP electric: up 33% , Propane up 40% since 2021.

eggs up 270%. Overall food up 35%. since 2021.

I noticed a big jump in January 2023 gas bill because it was the first time in 2 years that it went over $200.00.
I did a quick check and it showed a 47% increase in the January 2023 bill compared with the January 2022 bill. The usage graph on our bill showed approximately the same amount of usage in both January ’22 and ’23.

We are ok. I worry about my kids and how their families can cope with the rising prices.

Our electric rates went up 18% back in October. That’s about +$60/ month for us. We have local utility. They cited the increase in price of natural gas as the reason.
I see where Duke energy is being fined for the rolling blackouts on Christmas morning when all the solar panels were worthless during peak energy consumption. Just saw this week that Duke is requesting 18% rate increase for all it’s customers so it can build more solar panels.🤦
At least government got their kick back the form of fines. While we get squeezed for more money.

Haven’t gotten my bill yet but here is what is coming..

On Nov. 17, both Eversource and United Illuminating — Connecticut’s two investor-owned electric utilities — notified state regulators that the price their customers pay for power generation will jump by roughly 50% early next year.

According to data from the Energy Information Administration, Connecticut had the second-highest residential electric bills on average in 2021, only behind Hawaii.
That’s because United Illuminating and Eversource are two of the most expensive investor-owned utilities in the country based on a price per kilowatt-hour basis.
Many of the investor-owned utilities in New England have some of the highest residential electricity prices in the country.

Doing our best to keep cost down keeping heat lower (wearing long johns in the house) using nighlights at nigh instead of keeping room lights on..not running the washing machine for only one or two items.
Using our programmable thermostat

Last year’s December gas heating bill, furnace and gas logs, was $174.52. Same period this year, $271.14. Electricity, coal generated for the most part in this area, $83.23 last year, $119.73. Praising God we have no debt! I pray for the retired who are still making a mortgage payment on top of trying to say warm!!

Last year (2021-2022) prepaid $2.849 per gallon for 500 gallons of heating oil.

This year (2022-2023) prepaid $4.499 per gallon for 500 gallons of heating oil.

Here in SW OHio in new build we’ve seen minimal increase in our gas & electric bill from $180 dec 2021 to $199 dec 2022. Our negotiated rate through township expires next month so we may see more of an increase

Central California gas bill was $220. This month about $485

East Tennessee

natural gas +50% from December 2021 now @ $1.78 per 100 cu. Ft.

electric + 10% est. (maybe more/less the rate fluctuates seasonal) now @$00.1015/kWh

Nashua, NH -electricity up 80% since early 2021.

Maryland –
Electricity rates went up 28% on Nov 1st when my locked in rate expired.
Heating oil up 43% from a year ago.
I’m burning wood on the weekends to help offset the costs.

Groceries up 15%, it would be higher but between a successful garden last summer (canning and freezing) and not buying anything unless it is on sale, it would be up another 10%.

We halted all non-essential spending in April of ’21. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

We live in San Diego County, California and we got an email from our gas and electric provider, San Diego Gas & Electric (Sempra Energy Company), a few days into this new year January telling us that prices had gone up (email screenshot attached). The email estimated a gas cost increase for my household of “~$120” per month increase, and “~$44” per month electricity increase. On the SDG&E website I can see and track our gas and electric usage in real time, with a one day delay, and it includes our estimated next utility bill cost based on our ongoing usage. We have already long been conserving and making efforts to not waste energy or water so there’s not much more we can do to mitigate our average usage than we already do, but our utility bill for gas is already $138 higher and the electricity is already $52 higher and we still have another week or so to go in this billing cycle. It’s going to be well over $200 increase in our usual energy utilities bill compared to last January. Our water bill also increased substantially, but they’re blaming it on the higher energy costs as the cost for water went up only a little bit.

Our electricity rates in British Columbia are about a third of New York’s or Boston.
We have a super high efficiency gas furnace presently running on propane, about $800cdn a year to keep our well insulated house toasty warm in our temperate climate (NG is only now available on our street which is 185′ from our house, so it’ll be awhile before we connect).

We’re all electric here in NE Missouri, about 60 mi outside of STL. Our provider is a small elec cooperative, Cuivre River Electric. They changed the rate structure that affectively raised the bill of the avg usage of 1400 kWh by about 3.25%. The new rates went into affect on Apr 1, 2022.

Jan ’22 – first 400 kWh 9.45 cents per; 401-1800 kWh 7.5 cents per ; above 1800 kWh 5.65 cents per ; plus a service availability charge of 70 cents per day (these rates had been in place going back to 2016)

Jan ’23 – first 700 kWh 9.2 cents per; above 700 kWh 7.0 cents per; plus a service availability charge of 80 cents per day

In NC I can scarcely afford to drive my work van and competition with immigrants is too fierce to raise my prices. My home heater is broke and I can’t afford to fix it or keep it powered. I thank God that at my age, I’m still able to scrounge up enough free wood to feed the fireplace.

Yesterday, in Michigan, our electric company (DTE) is raising the price of kilowatts of energy between the hours of 3:00pm to 7:00pm (peak hours) starting in March.
