How does an *average* supply rate of 24 cents per kWh for electric sound to you? If it sounds insane, then you would be in agreement with the Con Ed representative I spoke with when canceling my service with Columbia Utilities. Caveat emptor certainly applies here, as I signed up with this outfit a while back and never paid any attention to the rate I was paying, only to the total bill including delivery charges. Con Ed is currently charging 8 cents per kWh. When I called to ask why in the name of all that is holy would they be charging me 3 times Con Ed's rate, the representative did nothing but tell me that I could cancel at any time. It struck me that she knew full well that they were nothing but thieves without a mask and gun.
