What, you don't have that? My electric bill has a rate, a rate for the network, a subscription fee, electricity green taxes, and sales tax. I'm European.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Here it boils down to:
- Network power (fixed fee based on your max power needs, depends on time as well, can be 3.6€ / kw in winter months)
- Network energy transfer (fee for energy transfered, here its about 0.018€/kwh)
- Energy (fee on the energy used, about 0.146€/kwh right now)
- VAT
- some bullshit for maintenance and running an open market portal for companies to buy/sell energy (like 1-3€)

Australia checking in. We have the price per Kw, and the number of Kw consumed.

Is this some USA joke I'm too European to understand?
Land of the fee and the home of the slave.

Convenience fee, when there is only one option to pay and the only one who finds it convenient is the service provider.

Also Australian. I get a $0.87 per day supply charge plus kWh used.

You're allowed to buy electricity from a separate broker than your "power company" so they split the bill between power usage and service fees plus there's state and local taxes.

I always thought BT should get into the property market. They could sell a house, then rent that house to its new owner, then charge them a fee for using each room.

I’ve tried setting up bank draft for my electric like 6 times, to avoid the 3% “convenience fee” for using a credit card. For some reason, it will not work. They have the option, I set it up, it says I need to wait several days to use it, and then it just vanishes from my account.
Calling the company gets me a rude person who barely speaks English. Government subsidized monopolies. Internet is even worse.

In the UK it's all rolled up into the "service charge". Including the "loads of other companies couldn't manage themselves properly and went bust and we had to take on their customers fee"

Not sure your location, but in the us at least most banks have a bill pay service where they will send a paper check for you at no cost.

The worst for me is my gas bill. My bill is usually around $50-$60 per month, and when you break it down, the actual gas I use is $3. The rest are fees.

Being allowed to on paper and actually being able to are wildly different things. They're monopolies in most areas that get away with it by stringently denying that fact. Same with cable companies.
