I'm one of those idiots who has floating rates.

I ran some numbers over the past two years. In 2020 I was working in the office for the first 3 months, and have been work from home since.

2020 I used a total of 17964kwH of Electricity at an average price of 7.05 cents per kwH. Delivery charges for the year were $1644.90. Average bill was $254.82

2021 The total usage came down to 17740 despite being WFH all year, but the cos per kwH went up to 10.32 cents per kwH and Delivery charges were $1704.56. Average Bill was $309.83.

I do notice that in February and March I used about 150kwH extra those two months in 2021 than I had in 2020 working from the office. Even at 25 cents per kwH...I'd burn that much in 3 days driving to and from work. January was not a good comparable as my 2020 bill had 9 extra days in the Billing cycle vis 2021.

I would expect that prices will normalize a bit in the coming months, but certainly worth looking into fixing rates if you can get in the 7.5 cent range. In that time frame lowest per kwH price was 5.77 per kwH, and highest was 15.14. Median splits from 8.27 in month 12 to 8.61 in Month 13. Average is 8.69 per kwH. These last 6 months have certainly pulled things up. In the 18 prior to this the avg cost was 7.5 per kwH.
