Reply to comment by EmbracedByLeaves in JCPL unable to explain their my electric bill to me, can anyone help? More in the comments by Cashneto

What is the rate? Why are there 3 charges in one month for delivery and then 3 charges in another month for electric generation.

I added a write up in the comments, it was just posted if that helps.

It could be any number of reasons. Hot water heating during peak times, etc. Check the tariff document.

Essentially ~$0.14/kWh is a typical rate for JCPL. You aren't getting ripped off.

Thanks. The water heater is gas. I don't think I'm being ripped off, I just wanted an explanation, which seems to be too much to ask. The tariff doc isn't very useful under the code they gave me in the bill which is just the normal Residential service.

you pay a lower rate for the first batch of electricity and then a higher rate

So if you do the math, you'll see that each bucket of electricity is the full charge almost as if I'm being triple charged in the first month for delivery charges and then in the 2nd month the same thing is happening, but for generation charges.

It looks as though the numbers in the second bill got arranged wrong. The generation and delivery total usage amounts should be the same, as they are in the Jan bill.

The middle numbers are the two different rates they charged you at.

I don't have access to my current bill, but my past old bills had multiple lines for generation and delivery. I'm not sure why you have that change, but it's either methodology/rate change between 2022 and 2023 or something else. You'll need to wait for next month's bill to compare. Let's say you used 779 KWH for one month. There's a base rate for the 779 KWH delivery. Then there's different additional rates that are tacked on based upon time of day (high demand vs low demand times). That's why you have additional 251 KWH and 528 KWH rates for both delivery for that period.

You pay different rates depending on level of consumption.... If you use less you pay the 0-xxx kWh rate (which is higher) as you use more they discount it.

OMG, I hope it's a business, because a typical residence is lots less.

This is 2 months worth and we have EVs. So basically spending on electricity but saving on gas.

Is there a rate applied to the amount as a whole and then another smaller rate applied to portions of usage?
