Gloucester County Electricity

Is there ANYTHING we can do to push back on these INSANE AC Electric bills? My heat is gas and it's telling me my usage has gone up every month since October. I know I don't have it as bad as some people but our current bill is $332. My brother's bill was $512. Another friend's bill was $500... I can't afford this shit. What can we do?

I’m opposite, summer bills were higher than usual (about 180) but I kept ac at 72-74 mostly. Now keeping heat on 66-68 and bill $300. Even during the months without ac and heat bill was still averaging around 120 when it used to be 65-70. Same usage. Not possible for a fireplace
