We got lots of questions (and a "few" complaints) about how much electricity costs and why it is so expensive.
Let me clarify — lots of people complain that their bill is too high, and they think the problem is that we (the power company) are charging too much. In reality, electricity is pretty darn cheap, and here in Alabama we pay right at or below that national average per kilowatt hour (check out the map.)
The biggest reasons people have high bills are because they waste a lot of electricity either through being careless (leaving appliances turned on all day) or have a leaky house that causes their heating and cooling system to work overtime.
