They are seeking about a 12% increase for 2022, beginning January 1, 2022, and then additional increases over 4% for both 2023 and 2024.

Hopefully their regulator will yield to good sense and public pressure, and not give them everything they are asking for. Many people would have made different consumption choices over the past nine and a half months, if they knew they would be paying more for it later on.
We're already paying extra for their supposed transition to carbon-free energy.
In other news, we picked apples at a small orchard, several bushels' worth, and I've been slowly working through them. Mostly making applesauce and apple pie filling in the oven, plus I've sliced up several batches for the dehydrator. We've been too wiped out by one thing and another to run any through the juicer yet.
The car registration came due, and for some reason the value basis for our vehicle is more than double the amount that the insurance company was going to give us when they wanted to total it last summer. I didn't write about that saga at the time. What happened was that the vehicle was sideswiped while parked, and then the insurance company and the body shop postured their way through nearly two months of kabuki theater before finally fixing the dent and the side mirror and giving it back to us.
Electric companies and insurance companies are two of the biggest scam we have to endure. Electrical power is relatively cheap to produce and we pay out far too much money for the privileged.
