If you use more electricity 1,000 kilowatt-hours, for example - look at the column on the right. Your bill would still be lower than in most of the cities surveyed. In fact, our price is more than 20 percent below the national average of all investor-owned utilities. And it’s been well below the average for years. But it gets tougher every year to hold prices down, with inflation fore ing up the costs of everything we must buy to serve you. That fact, along with constantly growing demand, has made it neces sary for utilities everywhere to ask for increased prices.
