I've been on OG&Es residential flat rate billing for at least the last 5 years. I think I just started year 6. This is not average monthly billing. We keep a 2200 sq ft house at 66 or 67 pretty much year round with a 4 ton Rudd A/C and never set the thermostat back. My monthly electric bill is currently $205 for the next 12 months. That includes all taxes and fees and includes $12/month for our backyard security light. Same as a street light. We can use all the electricity we want and the bill is the same amount every month. I have a 25x30 shop I run a 12000 btu A/C in a lot when the weather gets hot. Every May they adjust the monthly fee for the next 12 months. So far it's gone up about $10 per month per year since they put me in this plan about 5 years ago. I can opt out of it when they adjust my rate in May every year. We have gas heat, hot water, and clothes dryer, and electric everything else. We have 2 refrigeraters running and a chest type freezer. I say fark Greenpeace. I use all the electricity I want.
Had OG&E's flat rate plan last year for the first time also. I'm sure I saved a bunch with the hot summer we had. It was going to raise about $10.00 a month this year and we had switched from an electric dryer to a gas dryer. Without the switch, I would have renewed again, but with the switch I thought I should give it a year for them to give me another figure next year. Besides, what are the odds of making out two years in a row with a really ot summer?
