Outrageous electricity bills - Calgary

[Delphinus]

Yup, I hear you. My utilities are in that ballpark too, but I have 4 reef tanks and a freshwater tank. I'm cutting back though, I'm hoping there will be a slight reduction, but it's as you say, the electrical portion is really just a small component. All the other fees are a complete joke. I like how they are individual line items as if they are optional. "Oh I don't want that, so I'll opt out of the trans access defer rider for this month."

SO frustrating, on the whole utilities bill I counted 18 random charges.

The funniest part of it all is my water bill was only $11 (without random fees)
