Same here.  I was paying under 5 cents/kwh last summer.  We are up over 8 cents now, and I saw this fall it will be closing in on 9.5 cents - so almost double in one year.

I'm locked into a 3 year natural gas price, so that was sort of lucky planning.  Not bad in that situation, but the electricity prices are going nuts.  Hoping there is some type of energy price crash later this summer and I can find another electricity provider that is less in the fall.
