What’s Up With These Skyrocketing Electric Bills?…Despite Hawaiian Electric’s warning that bills would increase when the Oahu coal plant closed, many people are shocked by just how much their monthly bills are going up.
Social media users have been on fire recently asking why their electric bills are skyrocketing with drastic increases over a short time period.
“Just wondering if other’s HECO bill went up as much as mine did? It has been steadily increasing with the gas prices but this last one we just received was $78 higher than last month’s $285! That seems like a lot and I thought I heard that the increase with the coal burning plant closing was going to be about $15 or so. I’m in shock!” one person posted on the social media platform NextDoor.com.
The response from other posters was immediate.
“Ours went up $85. Shocked, no A/C either. Really??”
