Huge Jcpl increase.

[mike033089]

I’ve been hearing from a lot of people with Jcpl that their electric bill has almost doubled with this new price increase (minus the heat wave).  Mine wasn’t too bad, but I’m seeing people posting their bills online 300-600 for the month!   At what point does everything just crumble.

Haven’t received a bill since my new smart meter was installed I’ll be checking it out …. No power twice after two small storms didn’t receive a credit lol …. As for the crumbling the escalating cost of everything says somethings on its way !

We don’t have the smart meter yet. I have solar that I took over from previous owners.  It was a lease so I pay about $90 a month for solar. Usually just have a bill of a few bucks for “processing fees etc) in summer, winters avg 70 from Jcpl.  But then add in the 90 for solar.  Not worth it In winter, I’ve done the math the solar only does about $50 with of kWh.

No solar but seems like once a month they are knocking on the door …. Last one I said I would make a deal you replace my roof for free and I’ll think about solar he wouldn’t take the bait lol ! 
To date hasn’t been awful but we will see next cycle ! Good Luck !

Yeah previous owners went with lease. No tax breaks for us.  So in about 7 years I can buy if I want the panels. I’m not buying 20 year old technology.

Wait until you try to get rid of those panels better make a deal with another company to remove them and install new do research I have heard some people do really well with theirs ! Again Good Luck !

Mine was much higher but the temps last month were brutal. Also, my son's family was here, and they put the thermostat on 67 at night during the 90-degree evenings. Killed the AC.

My buddy works for Jcpl as a suit and tie. It’s well known amongst them that the grid can’t support all electric.
