Has anyone else felt like their electrical/gas bill from RI Energy is wildly inconsistent? I’ve gone months where I use very little gas or electric and the bill is suddenly quite high or months where I’m using a moderate amount of both but either get charged very low or not at all. Last month I used more gas and electricity than usual due to the weather yet didn’t get charged for gas and paid very little for electric. I don’t get it.
They're kinda new on the job?
I just got a bill for a credit of about $87 that they overcharged me for, due to their guestimate vs reading the actual meter. Not sure what the hell they are doing.
Yes. I just moved into a new place a few months ago and they’ve made several mistakes like you described.
Only pay electric here. I closely monitor usage and monthly charges.
Received a misc credit on Dec-Jan bill - estimated vs read I figure.
Would explain the all-over-the-place recent bills and seems to total out to correct billing here.
Didn't expect to have to do multiple months of bill calculations to check though.
Our bill is insane this month the distribution fee has doubled,
That’s probably the 67 credit everyone got as part of a lawsuit.
Same here. My bill is higher than it was in the summer when we were running 4 AC’s. I got a quote for the budget plan, it looks like it may be worth it.
That's not really an excuse
Would appear likely. Thanks.
I was making fun of them
Just be forewarned if you go over the budget fee you will be charged all at once. I got a bill for over $2000 at the end of my “budget” year.
Omg! Thank you for the heads up. I really appreciate it!
The "days in billing cycle" have been really off too. For me, November had 38 days for me, December had 33, and January had 29. It's like they can't keep up with meter reads.
Ya like why are the guessing and not keeping track of usage? I don’t mind because my bills have been low, but like really?
Ya very random when the bill is posted

They could be estimating your usage instead of actually reading the meter. Call them to actually read the meters (and do some real work)
