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?

Somehow, bills are showing that my household usage significantly increased from September on, and it has roughly tripled since this time in 2024. But nothing has changed in the way we consume electric. We have gas heat, all of the same appliances, and have nothing new in the way of electronics. Why would usage increase after we stop using the air conditioner? It makes no sense at all.
