The cold wave that hit Texas and across the United States even brought about a post-storm called bomb electricity bills.
Fox News reports that the surge in electricity bills following a winter storm has resulted in absurd bills for some residents in Texas.
All residents who receive large bills of electricity bills are customers of a wholesale utility called’Greedy’, which is subject to a variable rate plan, and the price of this rate varies depending on the supply and demand of electricity.
Ty Williams, who lives in Arlington, Texas, luckily avoided the power outage, but this month she received a bill for electricity worth $17,000 and $18.81 million in our money.
He usually spent 660 dollars and 730,000 won on electricity every month, including his house, guesthouse, and office.
“I tried to save electricity during the winter storm,” he exclaimed, saying, “Who in the world can pay these bills. It makes no sense.”
The Royce Pierce couple, who live in a three-bedroom house near Dallas, also rose to $10,000 or 11 million in electricity bills due to heating during the cold, and the Dallas resident DeAndre Upshow was also $7,000. He complained that he was shocked after receiving an electricity bill of 7.74 million won.
Texas is usually rich in energy resources, so the average rate per megawatt hour is low, but as power demand surged due to a record cold wave, the wholesale price soared to $9,000 per megawatt-hour and KRW 9.95 million.
When complaints over the bomb charges struck, Texas authorities set out to investigate and respond.
