Where do you think energy rates are headed?

According to top analysts and recent news reports, the only direction is "Up".  In Michigan, an energy package that will raise residential electric rates by up to 12 percent, require more electricity to be generated by renewable sources and put a cap on competition to the major utilities won final passage in the Legislature. 

DTE officials said the average ratepayer who has a $75-a-month electric bill will pay an additional $6 to $6.50 monthly next year and $8 to $9 a month in the fifth year as a result of the legislation. Consumers Energy officials said monthly bills for average ratepayers will increase by $6 to $7.50.  

Progress Energy who serves customers in Florida and some of the Southeastern states gives us a little glimpse into that question. In their statement they expect electricity rates to go up 31% next year. Bleak? I'll say.

In North Carolina they are seeking a 16% rate increase.  In Florida the increase is to help Progress Energy recover their costs for fuel, clean air technology at coal burning power plants and nuclear plant investment.  

How To Control The Cost Of Energy

With electricity and gas bills we pay one price one month and another price the next. And what's really interesting is that we use this energy and gas before we know how much we're going to be charged for it the following month. How do people manage and budget their money when they don't know what to plan or budget for? Well, the answer is... they really can't.  

It's like a fixed rate mortgage, there is a way for you to control the cost of energy by having a fixed rate energy plan. For residents of Georgia, Texas, New York, Michigan, Ohio, and soon to be other states, a company called Zurvita can get customers on a fixed rate energy plan.
