I met a few retires in Tennessee who are part of the Tennessee Valley Authority…their bills are like yours. The last bill I had under $50 was in 1977 in a 1 bedroom apartment with a window air conditioner.
I live in TN and indeed our socialized power system operate at a lower cost, (more effective and efficient) than private companies in USA like Duke power. Just my opinion
It’s not really about the cost for me, I just assume that each device has certain amount of hours prior to it failing therefore I hope that not running when I’m not using will extend the reliability of my hardware.
My neighbor across street always left his studio on. During a storm there was a spike or lighting strike that somehow caused his power supply to catch on fire destroying his home. Six months living in hotels and fighting with Nationwide and calling State insurance commissioners before they finally settled and rebuilt. I’m not takin that chance lol
