My billing cycle was 5 days longer in January than in December.
To determine consumption fluctuation, I used avg daily consumption to compare months.
Avg daily Consumption was up 20% mom (10% yoy).
An outlier at 20% but seems plausible?

At the house, January is always more expensive than December. December is really November's consumption which is warmer than December.
Irrelevant with smart meters, I assume.

Sounded like estimates were the exception, not the norm.
Hmm, did I unplug Starlink from the wall? There's a heater on the antenna.
- heating degree days in my billing period 20% more than Dec 2023 - multiply by 1.2 (20% colder)
- rate increase year over year of close to 10% - multiply by 1.10
Total 57% increase
From last years bill, all other things being equal
I look at kWh per day which comes up right on each bar - say 2400 per month and 30 days billing, so 80 per day this year.
2100 and 28 days last year so 77 last year. That’s how I compare usage.
I think we forget how we live between Dec 21 and 31 - a lot of “home
Time” that period.
