Got the official power numbers from my utility for the April billing cycle.
3572 kWh imported from grid, 200 kWh overproduction exported, for net 3372 kWh consumed/billed.
That is an all-time record for lowest power consumption (at least back to January 2024 which is the oldest bill I have easy access to).
Too bad it's also an all-time *high* for price per kWh - the effective price per kWh after taxes and fees hit 21.7 cents, a 15.4% increase since the start of the year and 53.9% since January 2024.
Even so, the $731 bill for 3372 kWh is the smallest since I paid $722 for 3983 kWh back in July 2025. And that was an outlier, going further back the next time I had a bill that small was $618 in October 2024 for 3998 kWh.
