Entergy Bill - did anyone's electric bill jump a lot this month?

Get her a portable A/C unit for the bedroom, then you can turn the main thermostat up at night. Might not be a net gain but it’ll keep her comfortable.
Leave mine on 78 24/7 and it doesn't even hit $200.
That’s a big turd.
Are these live in clinics? Do they have 3,6,9 month plans? How much?
PS- this thread is cracking me up at how the board is aging. One day you're clicking on select the slut, next thing you know you are discussing your wife's hot flashes.
I'm in Dinsmor and my bill was $100 higher than the same period last year. 2930 Kw in 2025 and 3239 in 2026. This month's bill is the highest I've had anywhere I've lived. I noticed that this year's "fuel adjustment discount" line item on the bill was half of what 2025's discount.
Fuel adjustment adjustment is tied to the cost of natural gas. When it’s low you pay less, when it’s high you pay more.
Select a Slut turned into Donna Mills. I’m pretty sure she was too old to select 23 years ago but here we are.
Have I ever mentioned the morning that I woke up to find the AC blasting in our bedroom while a space heater was simultaneously set on high in our bathroom because the AC was too cold?
My wife gets home from work and immediately begins to turn every light in the house on, even though it is still light outside. She has absolutely mastered turning on the lights, but she hasn't figured out how to turn them off. The only saving grace is that she is cold natured and doesn't jack the thermostat down. I used to argue with her about the lights, but I have to admit that I have deemed it not worth it and have officially surrendered in the name of peace.
edited to add that my increase is 7% YOY on Central Electric which surprised me since I've been having to run my pool pump 7x24, thought it would have been more.

Would you quit being 17'ing reasonable please??? We need someone to blame!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here. I have been on level billing for years - not sure how anyone enjoys the potluck feeling of opening the bill wondering what it's going to be this month.
I love that thrill and the $70 electric bill in the winter. And at the end of the day, my total bill between electric and gas is levelized. My gas bill right now is around $40-$50.
I like it just because it somewhat normalizes my payments year round. I pay about $150 - $175/mo. In the summer, I run about $300 - $350/mo in bills.
Gas heat? Atmos loves the most wonderful time of year too.
You do have to have them both on level billing or it wouldn't make sense.
Why 24x7? Just curious if I'm missing something over here. I run mine daylight hours only.
My gas bill this month was $29. I'm in the "17 your level billing bull$h!+" camp at the moment.
There are days I think maybe I should give marriage another whirl. Thanks for reminding me why I’m no longer married.
Pacific Northwest cost of living can be crazy expensive in some aspects, but hydroelectric power provides cheap electricity, at least. 9.9 cents a kWh after the baseline charge is counted. We're currently trying to keep datacenters out of the area, but I don't think it will be possible in the long run.

You must heat with gas.
My highest month ever.
What is the temperature axis? Is that monthly average (it says "high temperature) but I can't imagine it's the high temperature for the month.
I do heat with gas.
It's the highest/lowest outside temperature recorded at my home. It was 93 degrees in the June/July bio;ling period. It hit 99 this week but that will be the July/August billing period.
My electric bill this month is unlike anything I've ever seen! I was shocked. Entergy.
I woke up researching pool pump hours, AC maintenance, etc.....

I had some issues with mustard algae early in the season, I could probable ratchet it back down, just haven't
If this is true those who care should find a way to get this clear in the public eye. Amazon will cave if it looks like they’ll take serious reputation damage.
At this point I think it would be like putting toothpaste back in the tube.
But on the bright side if you’re good at propaganda you can get a job out of it:

My wife calls it her ***** Patch. If I could only afford food or the patches, I’d buy the patches. If I’m breathing wrong I know it’s time to change the patch.
I downloaded the Entergy app and my estimated bill be $100 less than last month. It closes out the 25th. Don’t get it.
Pretty sure that’s just the energy usage projected charge. There are also fixed base rate charges & other riders that are a percent of the usage charge. Unfortunately they don’t break all that out in the bill. But I’d be surprised if you bill is less than last month.
The base rate per kWh is based on a fixed cost of fuel (primarily natural gas) for the utility. As the fuel cost goes above or below that fixed cost the difference is reflected in the fuel cost adjustment.
I’ve got roughly the same story with our upstairs A/C. It’s a single room with a mini split, and my wife goes up there once/day to do something that takes 30 seconds. File a paper away, grab a gift bag for a present, etc.
And yet… every single time, she will turn the A/C on for that half minute just so that it can continue to run ALL DAY with absolutely no one up there. Not even one of the cats. Between that and the fact that I get to be the one to walk up there every night to turn it off, it used to drive me 17n crazy.
