Those so called smart meters are faulty or they are very smart. They pic up every little glitch. Not good for the consumer but good for belco.

So BELCO are picking the obvious the AC, when one works hard all day and would like to come home and cool down, it’s difficult to sleep in a sauna. BELCO use this excuse every summer. Then in the winter BELCO switch up and blame the heater. All the blame is put on the consumer. So you pay out of your… for electricity and can’t live in comfort. It boils down to (pardon the pun) no competition and greedy shareholders. BELCO has the monopoly on supplying electricity.

Household activity that has not changed from winter season yet still receiving an increase more than double in BELCO bill is not justified…

Mr. Caines. How about those of us with the AMI meters that do not communicate properly so that some hours it reports almost zero usage… wish my bill reflected that low usage.

How does this explain the very many people who have gone away on holiday for 3 weeks to a month and unplugged everything except their fridge and still got a bill higher than if they had been on the island at home ?
And these are people who claim to have the new meters that do not require a belco staff member to manually read every month so there should be no estimated bills.

The fuel adjustment is wrong, Belco source from all the solar panels, so the price of fuel should be much lower, as less fuel should be used.

The rates for usage went up. Caines, you are talking nonsense, people have always used air conditioners in the summer, this year most people are back to work and not working from home and therefore not running their air conditioners during the day, yet cost of electricity it still increased dramatically, while belco has been using the excess generated electricity from peoples homes etc.

How about you explain the other sizable charge on the bill? You forgot to mention it.
