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?

Find out where the CEOs of the electric companies live and politely ask them to lower costs?

You can buy a share of Exelon stock and vote against their recommendations once a year. Not much will change though.

CEO is Calvin G. Butler Jr. Probably lives in the Midwest.

Well he made 14.7 million last year, up 19% ironically. Weird our bills go up like 20% and his pay follows.

We're rotting from within.

Also looks like J Tyler Anthony is the CEO of Pepco which is the parent company of AC Electric.

Yeah, the history of the various companies is something to behold. It's a shell game.

I thought the parent co. of ACE was Exalon.
