That racket started with the ESCO thing -- alternative energy providers... since you had the right to "buy power from whomever you want", the utilities made generation fees cheaper and moved it all to a fee for using their wires (delivery fee). Which you still pay to the regular utility even if you pay an ESCO for generation...
My elec "delivery fee" is almost 2x the amount of electricity that I use. Nice scam.
