Monthly Utility Bill -- August, 2023

Locator: 45505TX.

Everyone has heard:

• how hot it's been in Texas;
• how the grid may not hold;
• how expensive Texas electricity is.

This month I did not make much of an effort to conserve electricity, and let my wife turn on the a/c as needed, and even wash and dry clothes as she wanted.

My wife is like her Japanese mother: doing laundry seems to be her favorite pastime, especially towels. She could do towels all day long if we had that many.

This was our electricity bill, our entire utility bill except water which we pay with our rent. We do not have natural gas.

Note the average high temperature last year (100°F) compare to this year (105°F), and compare it to the previous month (June, 2023): 101°F.

Average daily usage: 25 kWh vs 21kWh last year, and 16 kWh last month.

$116.48 for August, 2023.

Okay.
