After moving to Alabama recently and using the Alabama Power Company, I must say that I have been in for a shock. Despite claims to be in the lower price range (compared with other states’ power companies) I have found my power bill being at an outrageous amount almost every month. This is despite my living with one light on at a time in my home, with as little power being used as possible at all times.
I was forced to go
onto the Budget Billing Plan, which was a help, but I still have to pay about $250-$300 a month for a tiny two bedroom house (with only two people living in it). As far as the service goes, I can’t say that they’ve been the most helpful or considerate.
When under the Georgia Power company, I was always allowed extensions on my bill whenever necessary.
In Alabama, I am allowed only very little leeway.
I have had my power cut off ...
