Title: JEA "Rate Restructuring" -- first thing on your update email??
Post by: MattCJax on December 01, 2016, 04:02:36 PM
Ok, is it just me or when you look at the example bills... does something jump out at you?

https://www.jea.com/My_Account/Understand_My_Bill/Rates/2016_Electric_Rate_Restructuring/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=december%20residential&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Electric%20Rate%20Restructuring

The are INCREASING the Energy Charge, and only focusing on the fact that they are lowering the Fuel Charge?

Energy Charge:  0.06988 - 0.06624 = .00364 increase (on a 2000 kwh bill ) + 7.28
Fuel Cost: .03250 - .03675 = -.00425 (on a 2000 kwh bill) - 8.5
Difference 7.28-8.5 = $1.22 savings? BTW this is on the entire bill per month.

They area also giving "Business accounts" a discount on their fuel rates of 1 to 5% but not increasing their Energy charge? So are we as consumers paying to subsidize some of the largest energy users?!

I really hope I am just looking at this wrong.   ???
