My rates just went up and so did grid access and a supplemental charge.
It'll be 20 to 25 extra a month at least.

We're served by Mountain Electric, and they buy wholesale from TVA. I haven't seen an uptick in bills lately, but then again I use very little- no electric heat, no AC. I use electricity for lighting (almost all LED for years now), to move air through the house, clothes dryer, range and oven. Heat is Sweet Lady Propane.
