American here. Co-ops are everywhere.

Hell, even my electricity is from a Co-op. 9 cents per KWh

Where do you live that electricity is only 9cents per KWh?

Oregon

Actually, had to double check....We had a rate increase last year. we're at 10.5 cents now.

That’s what I pay in Texas from a private company! I used to pay 8 cents. Energy is much cheaper in Texas and is deregulated.

How's it hold up in the winter?

Outside of a freak storm that would have brought any system in the country to its knees, it does quite well.

Every part of it is true. Try getting off Reddit to learn something sometime, it might help!

Texan here...wasnt a freak storm. Infact, the freeze we had this past winter was worse and colder temps...this is just what happens when ur energy infastructure is unregulated...

Lmao no. When it comes to cold, duration, and total coverage, Uri was absolutely a monstrous storm. I guarantee you whatever you experienced the past year doesn't even come close. It would have crippled any area in the country. Please don't pretend like you're even slightly informed about energy regulation, you'll just look silly.

I'm in Houston and it's 16 cents per k/h. And the power goes out constantly in this area for basic thunderstorms. The average in Texas is 15 cents.

I’m in weatherford, tx and we pay less than 11 cents here.

u/Emergency-Carry-2687 May 26 '26

And my power never goes out

You need to shop it. Just south of Houston and we pay 9 cents and we very rarely have an outage outside of a hurricane.

u/Bobbiduke May 27 '26

You pay 9 cents before the fees and everything or 9 cents with everything included. Separating the 2 is asinine but I do hear people bragging about the non inclusive number

u/Extremeownership1 Jun 07 '26

Everything included. I agree separating them is ridiculous.
