heck the only time my electrical bills are that hi is during the summer when the AC is running. other wise mine are about 1/2 of there "average" as you get towards the coast there is a larger number of houses with electrical heat which cranks up the average. I pay 44 bucks per month for electricity on equal billing.

interesting article though as even a 30% increase over 3 years only means BC will still be one of the two cheepest provences in Canada which is the same as it is now. but that also reflects the price in 3 years if they increases are all aproved. right now we are the cheepest as we are 6.27 and manatoba is 6.30 but this is also assuming that no one else raiases there rates also which it looks like almost every provence is going to do.

do as you would any where else. make sure what ever you buy has natural gas heat and hot water and the electricity is minimized.
