Again, Thanks folks.

Good discussion. Good info. Just under 9kw/h for me.

Kw/h rates do vary, no question. Even here we have differing rates for commercial vs. residential.

I do not have the kw/h for Denver (Excel) or Pueblo (Black Hills Energy), but have relatives in both towns and their monthly (combined) utility bills are significantly higher. Climate is similar.

Our utility is healthy, it's the City that is hurting. Although Springs Utilities is an "Enterprise" of the city, the population of Colorado Springs voted to "separate" the 2 entities in the mid 90's.
This way the city would need to be more responsible with current revenue's and not depend on Utilities for handout's when they came up short of money.
Possibly forcing utilities to raise rates to cover the shortfall..........not new taxes from the city, just higher rates from utilities. Hmmm. Just what the folks here voted against.
Rant over.

Tim, $750/mo in property taxes?? WOW! I'm at about $1600/yr

Absolutely, location can/does matter. But, usage is the biggie. IMHO. As each of the four kids left my bill went down significantly. As Neil stated the cost per Kw/h, gal, or c.f. is a better comparison, but I didn't expect you folks to go into that detail for me. That's why I was just looking for combined totals.

No offense Neil.

Thanks
Karl
