If the FED didn't strip out the 2 factors that constantly drive inflation the charts would be a straight up line.

"And That's Why Business Owners Get Screwed"

Summer is, of course, already the most expensive time of the year for power bills in most of the country, particularly as climate change sends temperatures higher.

The amount of the increase will vary from region to region, but some business owners could be facing bills that are as much as 45% higher.

Energy inflation calmed down a bit last month, but you still can't avoid rising energy costs with the pace continuing at 1.1% Year over year energy prices have increased at a clip of 2.1% with a 0.7% increase in electricity.

Pennsylvania regulators issued warnings that customers will see increases of 6% to 45%. The utility which serves New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, said at the start of the year that customers could see between 23% and 25%.

Energy Deregulation: Deregulation basically means you have the power to choose your energy supplier instead of being stuck with just one utility company. This competition can lead to better rates and more options.

Utility Company: This is the local company that delivers energy to your home and takes care of the infrastructure, like power lines and meters.

Energy Supplier: These are the companies that you can choose to buy your energy from. They compete for your business, often offering competitive prices and special deals.

Rate Plan: Think of this as the pricing structure for your energy. Different suppliers offer different rate plans, which can be fixed, variable, or indexed.

Fixed Rate: A fixed rate means you pay the same price for energy every month, no matter what happens in the market. It’s really stable and predictable.

Variable Rate: With a variable rate, the price you pay can change month to month based on market conditions. It might go up or down, so it’s a bit more unpredictable. Very risky option.

Indexed Rate: An indexed rate is tied to a specific benchmark, like the price of natural gas. Your rate will fluctuate based on this index. Very risky option.

Early Termination Fee: This is a fee some suppliers charge if you end your contract before it’s officially over. It’s a good idea to check for this before making any switches.

Renewable Energy: Energy sourced from renewable resources like wind, solar, or hydro. Many suppliers offer green energy options if sustainability is important to you.

Kilowatt-Hour (kWh): This is the unit of measurement by price per kilowatt that shows how much electricity you’ve used. You’ll see it a lot on your energy bills.

Megawatt: 1000000 kilowatts

Contract Term: This is the length of time you agree to buy energy from a supplier, usually ranging from a few months to a few years. By the way - you're under a contract with the utility and probably don't even realize it.

Customer Service: The support you get from your energy supplier for billing, service issues, and questions. Good customer service can make a big difference!

Smart Meter: A smart meter is an advanced type of meter that measures how much energy you use and sends the information directly to your utility, often leading to more accurate billing.

Switching Process: This is the process you go through to change from one energy supplier to another. It’s usually pretty simple and your energy supply won’t be interrupted.

Introductory Rate: A special lower rate offered by suppliers to attract new customers. Be sure to check how long this rate lasts and what the rate will be afterward.

Bill of Rights (Energy Consumer): These are protections and rights you have as a consumer in a deregulated energy market, ensuring you get fair treatment and clear information.

Green Energy Credits: These credits represent energy produced from renewable sources. By purchasing them, you support green energy and might even lower your carbon footprint.

Demand Charge: This is an extra fee that some suppliers add based on the highest amount of energy you use at any single point in time.

Supply Capacity: This is basically the maximum amount of electricity that your  business can use at any one time. Think of it as the total power available to you, or the highest amount you’d use if you turned on all your electrical equipment at once.
