With my job I get other people's hydro bills to split between upper and lower tenants and I see their bills too. While I find this bill exceptionally high, it's not really out of whack. This is just what we pay for electricity here (in BC Canada)

For reasons I'm not sure about, I posted a screenshot of my bill below in answer to the quack telling me I don't know what my bill was.

We live in the upper, larger portion of the house and there is a suite downstairs. I'm not sure what they get up to, but the cost is high. We have led lights, central ac which we only use conservatively. Other power sucks would be the extra fridge in garage I guess, so the household (with the suite) runs 3 fridges, 2 sets of laundry machines and 2 dishwashers. Our range is gas.

I have no idea how the bill is so high. I can only imagine how much higher it would be if I charged a vehicle on top - though I do understand that would eliminate the $120/week I spend on gasoline

Lol. I just told you I didn't do anything different.

I didn't do anything odd. We have central ac and ran it conservatively, and had it off for 2 weeks during vacation also.

We are on 2 month billing cycles, so this is for 60 days. But I said I got blasted with the bill this month, which is in fact the case.

No unpaid balance, just new charges. That was the cost of electricity for the last billing cycle.

I was pretty young on first watch but I do remember thinking she might've been a guest star and this was the end of her run, yes

I got blasted with a $700 electric bill this month, and we didn't really do anything new or different. So this doesn't surprise me really.

If electricity is going to cost this much, I guess the only way electric gets "cheaper" than gas is by hiking gas prices until its cheaper to charge. Consumers are never going to win though.

Though I'm sure some fascist disagrees, this is obvious and common sense too, no?
