Richard: We were eligible for a 20% (I think) discount for X amount of months usage, but went over the base line usage (the power company's estimate) and did not qualify. So, there is an incentive, in the system, to lower one's consumption. We went over due to me burning in a bunch of cable 7/24 in April and May, I am certain. I guess that this is a good example of a mute point. I wonder if the rates go higher if one uses a lot more power than we do or goes "way" over the base line? We have a neighbor who runs the A\C all day long (for her dog) and I will take a look at her bill to see if this is the case. It seems that there would be a penalty as well as a discount.
