Where would the electricity go?

It didn't "go" anywhere. The higher bill is probably a combination of actually using
a little more electricity and "catching up" from the co-op's reading estimation.

Few rural co-ops read every meter every month. Many only read every 3 months or so.

Don't know about "few", maybe still "some". Out here it is manually
read by a paid part-time person (virtually always a member
"moonlighting"). We had to ditch the mail-in cards when the numbers of
installed meters at locations where there was no sentient discernible
sentient lifeform that could actually perform the task became too
great...

Eventually will probably go to the self-reading, but that's still in the
future...
