Re: I think my electricity charge is too much
How much electric do you use?
aircons running all day?
You are also paying 30c per kwh which is more that most I would guess

Re: I think my electricity charge is too much
That's way too high. I have one A/C running for about 8-10 hours per night, 20 degrees, rarely use the oven, average use of small electrical items (laptop, TV etc) for someone whose not home during the day, and pay about $60-70 per month.
Unless you have A/C running 24 hours per day on 16 degree along with an electric oven on most of the time, you're being ripped off.

Re: I think my electricity charge is too much
Is this your first bill?
You're using over 30 KWh per day. Maybe some equipment like a pump is defective and runs 24/7.

Re: I think my electricity charge is too much
Also, as you live in a condo your rate per kw/h is around 100% higher than standardgentlesandah wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 11:56 am When apartment rent fees for April arrived, I was shocked to find that my electricity fees is $280. My friends pay only $60 for electricity. I think there must be something wrong.

Re: I think my electricity charge is too much
I have a fridge, a separate freezer, wash machine, boiler water pump, electric range and oven, lights and computers and use about 1/3 kwh you do. About 10 per day.
Common scam is to draw electricity through your meter. Unplug and turn off everything and then go away for some days and watch the meter. If you can see it - we had one landlord who had it such we could not check the numbers ourself.
Another ll was powering his own Khmer house and the water pumps from our electricity while charging us 25 cents so making money off us.
Common scam - you are paying 30 cents which is way too high - move to a place that charges market rates.
Stay classy na

It is illegal to re-sell electricity initially supplied by EDC. Check out their FB page and website, contact them, and tell them about your bill.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 12:32 pmAlso, as you live in a condo your rate per kw/h is around 100% higher than standardgentlesandah wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 11:56 am When apartment rent fees for April arrived, I was shocked to find that my electricity fees is $280.

An EDC bill will state the Kwh rate. Yours doesn't. Suspicious.
Also be aware that in a condo you are also possibly paying a general lighting fee, ie lighting for entrance and hallways, elevator etc.
Compare with your neighbour in the same condo.

Re: I think my electricity charge is too much
Yep, which also can be justified if they have generators, communal lighting & lifts etcJerry Atrick wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 12:55 pmWhether illegal or legal most condo electric rates are 25c or moreschlarry wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 12:45 pmIt is illegal to re-sell electricity initially supplied by EDC.

Re: I think my electricity charge is too much
I have AC 24/7, bunch of screens and other crap, running at 100-120 per month at .25$.
Seems a bit out of order there if you know that you're not using excessive amounts of electricity.
