There was a recent rate hike but I don't know when it took in effect.
I've looked over my bills and I've noticed that ConEd charges more during the summer months per KWh than during other seasons. That usually accounts for the higher bills I encounter between June and September. -- Please use all available doors...you have 33 to choose from.
But here on Wrong Island, the charge currently is between 21 and 22 cents per killowatt hour.
Look at this link that an actual customer posted of a copy of his bill in 1998 and then last year. The rates have NOT gone down since last year. I can confirm that my rates are almost identical to his.
