Alarming Utility Facts YOU MUST Know!

Do you know just how much money you are wasting on electricity?

Based on rate data from the California Public Utility Commission, average electricity rates in California increased from approximately $0.02 per kilowatt-hour in 1970 to $0.16 per kilowatt-hour in 2001.That is an average increase of 7% every year. Today that average price has spiked to above $0.20 per kilowatt-hour and that does not include all the surcharges and taxes. If rates increase as they have historically, the price of electricity from the utility company will be more than $0.75 per kilowatt-hour in 25 years.

As an example, a current $112 electricity bill will be almost $500 a month. This utility customer can expect to pay $100,000 in utility bills over this 25 year time span.
