Are you sure about that?

my total from Entergy last month was $.1106 per kwh.
That is the energy charge and the fuel charge added together, but does not include any storm restoration charge.

$57 but my place is small and I try to be conservative. That amount includes natural gas too (only my water heater is gas).

Mine were
$99.13
$92.49

Gas heater for the few days/weeks we need it. Keep it at 75 all day when not home and drop it to 72 at night.

I don’t have energy. Highest bill this year has been $109. Last year highest was $180.

I keep mine on 68 when I’m home and 72 when I’m at work

I've been running one of those floor dryer fans.. I have it pointed toward the ceiling and that thing really keeps my place cool... But I think it uses a lot of electricity.. I did notice that my bill was higher than last year.. I might have to get one of those box fans...

Your Minny number is probably right.
Your Entergy number is not. No one pays under a cent per kWh. The big plants that use a ton of electricity and have deals with Entergy still pay 2-4 cents per kWh and they have better rates than residential.

But yes electricity in south LA and Texas is cheaper than up north and out west by a good bit usually.

Mine is just over $200. The positives of having a modest sized house, lol.


Ours never gets over $130 in the Summer.

The positives of having a cookie cutter 3 bedroom DSLD house.

These little suckers work GREAT and don't use much electricity.
Best value I've found and way better than a cheap box fan.

78 - Day
76 - Night

When it’s 100 degrees outside this should be comfortable esp with a ceiling fan adding circulation. I’m also not fat.

Never had a bill over $200. Usually around $150 during summer. I don’t have Entergy tho and use the power to choose for the best deals every 6 months to a year in Texas.

Kids want to run that shite at 68 all day in the summer. I am constantly hurting feelings.
