WHO Pays?

For the Texas Rolling electricity blackouts?

You guessed it, YOU do.  Read about it of WFAA.com

But during the rolling blackouts on Wednesday morning, the price of wholesale electricity skyrocketed. Power plants charged providers the maximum:  $3,000 a megawatt hour.

That's 66 times higher than usual.

Customers without contracts are billed based on the fluctuating market prices. That means next month's bill could be big.

Don't forget about the "Smart" meters that you are being switched to as well.  WFAA.com also did a story on those recently.  Same question, WHO pays?  Same answer. 

Had enough yet? 

Some Dallas residents who already have "smart" meters monitoring their power echo claims of higher electric bills. They believe the new meters are to blame, and they're fighting back.

On Sunday afternoon, dozens of Oak Cliff homeowners gathered at Norma's Diner to discuss the issue.

"It's really good to know that I'm not alone," said Oak Cliff resident Ree Wattner. "They're not just doing that to me — they're doing that to all of us."
