If you want to see any meaning at all, you need to break it down by:

  1. Your usage in kilowatt hours, compared to say this time last year (and make sure you're looking at actual meter readings, not the scourge of estimated ones!)
  2. Your supply charge per kwh, this just jumped drastically - likely now an astronomical 33.891 cents or so?
  3. Your delivery charge per kwh
  4. Fixed customer charge, perhaps included in the deliver total ($7 or so iirc)

Any post, call, complaint, whatever that doesn't address these individually is indeed yelling at clouds - perfectly understandable under the situation as we're all hurting - but in no way going to lead to any insight or understanding.

A further complication is that people who's billing period spanned the Nov 1 rate change seem to have gotten an initial bill using some sort of weighted average rate. You likely won't see the true painful rate until you have a billing period that's entirely post Nov 1.
