My electricity rate went up about 60% from 2020 to 2024. I only pay mind to it once every year or two (primarily to double check if a TOU plan would be advantageous).

Just dug into some docs for the 2026 rates and its looking like we're in for another rate hike next year (+22% from 2024, +92% from 2020).

This is getting out of hand.

    That's (mostly) not because of data centres, but (mostly) because of the increase in the international price of oil and gas due to the war in Ukraine. You can look at other countries and see that their electricity prices have risen over the same period.
