Our previous electricity bill was $137.33. This was from March, 2026.
Our only utility bill is electricity, for a small one-bedroom-one-bath-one-den/office apartment in north Texas. We have no natural gas. This is our total energy bill for the apartment.
With all fees, taxes, etc., we're paying 20.0 cents / kWh (2026). One year ago we were paying 17.0 cents / kWh (2025).
Today, I was culling some old files, throwing stuff away, and I came across this, a very old utility bill from March 4, 2021.
I find that simply amazing. "Everyone" is telling us that our energy costs are going up.
I can't recall the last time we were paying over $200 / month. It looks like it was back in 2021.
Now we're paying well less than that. January through March are generally our most expensive months.
So, now, five years later we're paying 40% less? Calculations:
(137.33 - 230.67) / 230.67 = 40.5%
(137.33-253.47 / 253.47 = 45.82%
Our electricity use has not changed all these years -- in fact, now that I have the Bat Cave, my electricity needs have actually increased over the years, albeit not much.
Seriously, I can't explain why our monthly electricity bill dropped so much.

Last year our Spectrum bill was running right at $100 / month.
This year our Spectrum bill is running right at $60 / month.
Absolutely no change in service except Spectrum has actually added faster connection / download / upload speeds.
