cant just give it to you straight.

The "straight" cost is always given, as in "$.14 KW/hr" or something
like that. *The other charges are the fed/state/PUC screw job.

nb

Presuming no carry over charges from the previous month or "equal
billing" plans, the cost per kWh is the total bill divided by the number
of kWh listed for the billing period. It makes absolutely no difference
what parts are attributable to generation, transmission, taxes, etc.,
the total bill divided by kWh is the amount you paid per kWh. Also, do
the math yourself, as the "cost per kWh" listed on some utility bills is
fraudulently calculated, excluding taxes and fees.

It does however make a difference if there is a monthly connection fee
of say $25. *I don't think most people would include this in
determining the cost of running a fridge, since you're paying it even
if the fridge is turned off and using 0 energy. *If you wanted to
apportion that $25, it should be apportioned to everything in the
house that could use electric, including the jig saw that is only used
once a year.- Hide quoted text -

A connection fee? You mean for the telephone right.
