"ELECTRIC COSTS GOING UP: Naperville News 17 is looking for YOUR opinion on the possibility of a 6% electric rate hike starting this May, instead of the scheduled 2% increase.
On Monday night, city council discussed ideas to fund the $14 million deficit of the electric utility by increasing electric rates by 6% in Fiscal Year 2015 and by 7% in Fiscal Year 2016.
This means the average user of 923KWh who currently pays $92.79 would pay $97.69 starting this May and $105.24 in May of 2015. You'll be paying, on average, $60 more in FY 15 and almost $150 more in FY 16.
What do you think of the proposed changes?"
