Virginia voted last week to allow the local utility to raise their rates 18%
My electric bills are going to jump about $50/month, now!
Yeah, but Steve, this is their first rate hike in a very long time. You have to admit that we've been getting a pretty good deal and we knew it had to eventually catch up.
Since my bill averages about $200.00 a month year-round, I'm not too worried about it. Since VA Power is my only utility bill, I think I'm getting off pretty light even after the rate hike. People in my area on the Co-op have been paying much higher rates for years, so I consider myself very fortunate.
