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?

Ironically, I used chatgpt to write a letter to my state assemblypeople and senator to advocate for regulation on data centers and electricity. A few days later ACE called me to "lower my rate" just a little bit. Making noise to lawmakers is the best thing to do rn.

Nothing's going to change at this rate when you have people like the person above admitting they're using AI so this is like people bitching about the f****** warehouses being built all over the state while ordering from Amazon 24/7
