Yeah, another post bitching about my power bill, but thanks for letting me vent at least.
We’ve used Electricity Maine as our supplier for I don’t even know how long, and never really had a problem. This month though my rate jumped from $0.1475 to $0.3799 per KWH. We got our usual “do nothing to renew” letter last year, but I don’t recall receiving ANYTHING that would signify a rate hike like this.
So, do I have any recourse? Or do I just have to eat it and try to switch to the standard offer? Any thoughts are appreciated.

I wish I knew what you guys were all on about.
Sure, my bill has gone up over the years. It’s just about doubled, but it’s been over the course of 6 years. I’ve never seen the sudden price jumps everyone is talking about without reason.
Every summer we run our AC constantly, so the spike is expected, but it goes right back down, and other than that it’s just been a slow steady rise.
