Peaked last summer at just under $1k for utilities in one month.
Prior to the freeze debacle and all the providers having to finance the debt the most I'd ever paid in 15 years was $450.

I used 1924 kWh last month in my small, three bedroom house built in the 1960s (can't remember square footage - need to look it up), which is 42% more than similar sized homes in the area, and that is with just me here (most homes around here have families, and/or multiple adults living in them).
My daily usage graphs are hilarious as the kWh consumption is low and steady until between 1:00-2:00AM when it explodes; that is the time I have all three of my a/c units running full bore (3 ton central, 2 ton mini split, 8000 BTU window unit), and for the past three weeks or so it is typically still in the 90s at that time so it takes a lot of electricity to get this place into the deep freeze that I like.
My current billing cycle is predicted to go well over 2K kWh, which will be an all time record for me. It sure seems likely based on the burn ass forecast for as far ahead as forecasts go.
