Wonder what’s going on in that one Nevada county.
Yes, it’s true. Some places in the USA pay more for the same electricity that’s cheaper in other areas, meaning those other areas might pay less for the same electricity. If it were different electricity it might be different, but since it’s the same electricity some are paying more for the same thing that others are paying less for.
I just wanna take a quick second to say fuck Alabama Power/Southern Power. It’s a monopoly and they will wring you dry at every chance.
Map of air conditioning usage.
It’s a perfect encapsulation of crummy vertically integrated utilities and ERCOT
living in one of the…if not the… most expensive market in southern california… we look good on this. but never heard anyone say there bill was just a hundred or two now
It’s almost but not quite the same map as the Where Have Americans Been Moving To? map.
I am British so probably talking shit but this looks vaguely inversely correlated with where I would have guessed energy gets produced which is weird
I would have thought like Texas and Chesapeake and those random drilly bits in CA the lowest
I had national grid and RG&E / avangrid in the north and duke energy in the south. The northern states absolutely gouge the shit out of you. Fees and surcharges makes up at least 60% of your bill. How does it make sense that I’ve used 7 therms of natural gas that cost 6 dollars but charged 29 dollars in *delivery* and fees ..don’t get me started on electric.
Farming consumes a lot of electricity.
Wouldn’t a more useful map be price per unit of energy used? Otherwise it’s largely just a map of who uses the most electricity, and the answer is in the south (away from the cold pacific coast) where it’s hottest around the clock.
Nope. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/sales_revenue_price/pdf/table_5A.pdf
I’m guessing that this is partially based on the prices of publicly owned non-profit electric companies/organizations versus privately owned for-profit companies. Guess who charges more money…?
Based on personal experience I have to disagree. I’ve lived in Horry County, SC and Connecticut and electricity was significantly cheaper down south.
traditionally hotter colors mean higher. Tf is this scale.
Wyandotte County in KC metro getting screwed.
Prices have gone up significantly over the past few years. My highest bill of the year during peak AC season has gone from around $100 to $175.
Is this before or after delivery charges? My local electric supplier has outrageous delivery costs on top of the electricity. Like triple the usage. I’m in the Hudson Valley of New York and I pay $400 for my small home which includes delivery.
Considering southern California has the highest energy prices in the mainland US, I would have to assume this includes households with solar which bring the average/median down.
Which seems… disingenuous… as I doubt this accounts for the cost of purchasing and maintaining the solar.
So yea, at best this is misleading. At worst, this is just flat out incorrect.
No surprise on AL. I’ve lived here for 14+ years, the AC never gets shut off in restaurants, shopping malls and most other businesses. It runs 12 months a year.
Unsurprisingly, the people with the cheapest energy consume more of it than people with expensive electricity
Thanks but wouldn’t you wanna make green the cheapest and red the most expensive? Coz green means more good and red means more bad. ?
