Look at and compare usages by kw/month. It could be you are using the same amount as in the past, but unfortunately price per kw/hour is through the roof from last year.

Right, sorry if I sounded aggressive! I wasn’t really targeting you, just wanted to add to that thread.

I just feel like a lot of people are saying cmp isn’t making any money and isn’t the problem at all and I just don’t get where that message is coming from.

Do you use any electric heat sources ? Like a space heater for backup? Baseboard heating ?

Almost always when electric spikes massively in the winter months, it’s due to heating.

There are other reasons for increased profits. Lower costs from cuts. Capital investments in previous years paying off. Fewer storms. No pandemic. Increased fuel costs meaning poor people are resorting to electric heat more.

Of all the things to hate CMP for, why focus on blaming them for higher supply fees? The more likely story is that all those suppliers need to recoup their anti-corridor campaign funds and cash in before a huge green investment.

Good question, anybody know if CMP has had increased profits this year? I assume it should be down since it was a milder winter.

That would be a good argument that CMP isn’t making money off of the increases
