Anyone else receiving emails from their electric company saying they might need to do rolling blackouts this summer? I’ve been a customer for 20 years and never received this warning before.
Yupp. My state shutdown a nuclear power plant and didn't bother to replace it with any oner energy producing solutions other than some solar panels which legit do nothing.
Well, I live in TX and I signed a 3 yr contract January 2022 ‘fixed and bundled’ meaning the KWhr rate and Oncor charges are included at $0.12/KWhr and can’t change. I suppose they could still shut me down though - so there’s that. At least when running they shouldn’t be able to raise my rates for another 30 months.

It’s a new form of oppression.
Oh So GREEN. How many customers will rush out to buy small generators that run on gasoline to power their homes during the blackouts?
I just bought a propane burning generator for this summer. Too much meat in my freezer to leave it in the hands of these criminals.
Nice. If you have natural gas piped into your residence, you can get a conversion kit so the generator will run on propane or natural gas.
damn, that's genius.
That is assuming that the gas pumps also have electricity to run. I got a backup generator that also uses propane to counter this.
Yup. Emails warning of sudden and repeatedly blackouts. Never before have I witnessed such a thing

No, but I did get a notice that they were raising the rate by 40%.

Even with my 40% increase, I still have a better rate than you, fren. Yowsa! 😲
What state are you in?
