Just got my first electric bill from Rhode Island Energy with the new rate applied.
All I have to say is What The Fuck?
190$ for electric in a 3 bedroom house that’s not even 1200 square feet is criminal. That didn’t even include running heat. Not once did we turn heat on, which lucky for us is electric baseboard. We don’t leave lights on, don’t have an electric car, we are just a small family of 3.
If Rhode Island Energy actually believes people will be able to afford this, they are crazy.
Rant over! Everyone please share your bills.
Edit: previous bill was 113$ August was 140$ with a window AC
