Why Is My Electric Bill So High? (Reading It Line by Line)
Read your electric bill with Alice, line by line: how much you used, supply vs. delivery, the fixed customer charge, riders and taxes. Then three checks that tell you why a bill is high, plus the catch-up bill limit many people don’t know about.
Narrated by Alice, an animated character with an AI-generated voice. Educational only, not financial advice.
