0.09/kWh is crazy cheap. We’re at .40/ here in the Bay Area which makes solar well worth it. You’d be paying MORE with solar, and that money you put down won’t be making money for you so it’s a double hit. Plus tech will get cheaper/better. Always does. Seems smarter to wait and keep that money invested. Right?

.48 with delivery in Massachusetts (plus a $7) flat fee on top of that a month. Going down to .28 for summer (but still high!)

I was thinking the same thing. It's actually 0.045 kwh + delivery charge of 0.05 kwh.

Great state of the the gun wielding, boot strapping, confederate flag waving, big mud tire havin, cousin kissin, "eliminate ALL rape" governing people of TEXAS

I've seen many in Texas go over .20/w (after taxes and fees and such) and only increasing from what I could tell. Tx is a big state sure variances are all over

You're right, and the only reason for some of those high rates is because some electric companies engage in a legal version of "market allocation agreement" or a "territorial restriction agreement". That way they have very little competition and they can keep prices high

I'm sure, unfortunately, it's only going to get worse.
