I think most of us have had our fill of bad news lately, well I have some good to report. I got an email from my electric company that starting in 2021 they will be offering a 5 percent reduction on utility bills to their customers!! WOOT< WOOT! How often does that kind of stuff happen? Most utility companies are raising rates non stop it seems. So Yay, and yay! Any good news in you wish to share?

As Mr. Rogers would say, 'it's a beautiful day in this neighborhood!' I'm glad you're getting a discounted price:)

So am I, and their rates were low to begin with compared to what the surrounding areas charge for their power! I am going to have to send them a Thank you email!

@kobesbuddy They really are a nice company. They also keep bills low around the holidays.

That's great! I guess my good news is that January's electric bill was covered due to helping low income people in the winter.

That is great too! Our company usually gives one very low bill for December due to the holiday season.

My car insurance is keeping their low rates due to COVID until April. They gave us a rebate several months ago that was to last until the end of the year. They extended the rebate.

That is great too! I got one break on my dental insurance bill, but the next month they were back to charging full freight.

That is really good news. All citizens in WA got a rebate on their electricity bill. It's all to do with COVID.

That's great news indeed. I wish our utility companies here will follow suit. So far no good news here like that, but no bad news either.

Some companies are sympathetic with the Covid situation and will work with you on bills, but to my knowledge you are still going to owe the money..they aren't going to forgive the debt. This company actually lowering rates for the forseeable future is doing outstanding work in my opinion!

Yes, I wish this state had deregulation. Unfortunately, they do not. I like my provider even more now though....
