I don't know who the "they" is that you're referring to.

You seemed to have answered that question yourself. So did the OP.
Stated rates are always dishonest AFAIK. I don't seen to have ever
received an electric bill that didn't have additional stuff added to it.

But as
someone pointed out earlier, since they reduced some regulation
and invited more competition in many places, it's not unusual
for the electric to be billed in two parts, one for generation and
the other for delivery. You can even choose to buy your electric
generation from multiple sources here in NJ. And the
bill is perfectly clear and easy to understand.

I live in one of the few areas where you can't choose, and the rates are
lower. This has no effect on what I said earlier (real rates are higher
than what they SAY they are).

BTW, I haven't yet figured out who's messing with my sig (removing the
newline after my name). It's a file, which has the same line ending
there as after all the other lines.
