I looked at some of those. I find plenty of cases where someone had a broken meter, was undercharged, then was charged to catch up. The electric company allows them to pay over time if needed in all cases.

I looked through New Orleans rates. They never doubled.

I find zero cases where the electric rates doubled, which is what the person here claimed.

As far as complaints, I can find people here complaining their rates doubled, when in fact they did not. Going to another place is not much different than here.

As far as I have found, no electric company doubled rates, contrary to lots of hearsay.
