Yes! I came here to ask this exact question! Usually my bill is $50 but my most recent bill is $130! I have my place at 64 degrees and my electric use stays around $25 but the electric supplier charge has jumped from $21 to $81 on my most recent bill.

Who is your supplier? Also have to look at the numbers on the back, not just the price. If your kilowatt hours didn’t change much, then your supplier is charging you more. If your kilowatt hours went up, then you want to look at when. There’s a graph online that can show hour by hour, day by day. If it went up when it got colder outside, that’s most likely due to your heat trying to keep up.

My supplier is bge. My kilowatts have increased a bit but I could get a detailed view of the increase. On bge website it just shows a bar graph by month. Where is the graph that you were talking about where it breaks it down by hour?

I’ve only done it on mobile. Should be a couple drop down menus at the top. One usually is bill view and another for price or energy used. If you click the bill view you should see year and day. The day shows hour by hour.

Did you sign up for the Clean Choice Energy Option with BGE? Because I have download the app but it says since I have a different supplier they don’t have the information to give me daily use measurements.

It sounds like you've signed up with a retail supplier. BGE delivers your electricity. Clean Choice Energy is a different company and, based on your comment, it sounds like you signed up with them?

If that's the case, please take a look at your contract and the rate per kilowatt they are charging you. They may have increased your rate, as per the contract you signed. If there's no cancellation fee, cancel that contract immediately.

To add to u/Kooky_Deal9566 … look at your bill. If you cannot find your contract, take the energy supplier price (usually just a one line when it’s a different supplier) and divide by your total kilowatt hours for that month. That will give you your price per kilowatt.
