I looked at last month’s power bill last night, and decided to do a little math of my own.
From Alabama Power’s website, the first 1000kwh is $0.126207 per kWh, and the rest of it is $0.128736 per kWh.
I used 2917kwh of power last month. That makes the first 1000kwh cost $126.207, and the other 1917kwh cost $246.78691. There’s a base cost of $14.50. All of that combined equals $387.49.
My bill last month was $513.47. What the hell am I missing? Based on that usage and bill, it’s a rate of $0.1709 per kWh.
Could it be a whole or partial part of last month too? In other words maybe the remainder is a carryover of kWhs from the month prior.
