    Default Anyone else outraged at their Enmax bill?

    wasn't sure if i should post it here or in money/finance.

    Got my Enmax bill today and i'm about to burst.

    I'm on fixed electricity and floating gas.

    My total Electricity charge was $101.84. Of that, my actual energy charge is $51.76.

    Almost half of my fucking electricity charge is admin fees on top of my actual energy usage.

    Gas is even worse:

    total charge $54.33. Energy charge $6.40

    jesus fucking christ.

    is there ANY way to fuck enmax in the ass and cut these admin fees?

    After spending sometime recently learning processes in an operator, I now understand why these fee exists.

    Blame it on regulation and unions.

    It's basically private companies ran like a government providing an essential service. Never see such irresponsibility with budgets compared to true private corporations.

    Not sure where unions come in since DE and others are just as bad, though they package it a little differently. Epcor is the same too when I was in Edmonton. Any private company having to operate within a provincially regulated entity is absolutely chocked with admin and process requirements that eat time and resources, a cost ultimately passed to the customer. I just came from a private company doing work for the province, same thing exactly, and the tax payer is bearing the cost. It's not like they want to run like that, it's not streamlined at all. It's required to run like that because of the regulating body. So you're gonna want to fuck the ERCB in the ass.

    Is this your first electricity bill, lol?

    You could get solar power, or a wind turbine, or run a generator... all of which would cost 1000x more then getting raped by Enmax.

    You could also wait for your neighbors to go on vacation, and secretly wire your house to theirs.

    that sounds about right. my monthly enmax bill averages around $150 in a 1000 sq ft. bungalow.

    I've been submitting it on a monthly basis since spring. The damn site says it could take up to 2 months.

    Rofl. Just moved out on your own?

    Hey OP...you think that's bad, there's this evil entity called "RevCan" and you should take a look at how much money THEY rape you for every year!!

    $100 for monthly electricity?!! I wish. Try $300-400 with mine. Then $53 in admin fees doesn't seem so bad.

    Cos, that measly fine that they have to pay is ridiculous. They should have to pay back twice what they raped by price fixing to prevent the other companies from engaging in similar practices. On the plus side, at least it's opened the door to investigating these fuckers, because I'm pretty sure they're just lining Albertan's up for ass raping en masses. There's no excuse for higher utilities bills in Alberta than every other province.
