This is so fun to see. Also noteworthy that the average customer used much more electricity then. The average 1982 electric bill of $68 adjusted for inflation would be $242 today — and current bills are less than half that.

It's Summer 1982 in Austin and you're not cool with your @austinenergy bill 🔌💰

The Austin Energy team has been doing an amazing job responding to Winter Storm Fern. From an electric system perspective, we were fortunate to get more sleet than freezing rain. Still, the coordination and response citywide has been remarkable.

Thank you, @Marc4AustinD10 for having the Austin Energy team at your district meeting to talk about grid resilience, storm response, and all things Austin Energy!

Underappreciated benefits of driving an EV are that fuel costs are incredibly low (if you don’t charge DC fast) and maintenance costs are practically non-existent.

Austin Energy received notice from EPA that Solar for All is terminated. Our local $32M implementation was set to innovate in solar & storage - especially for low income and medically vulnerable. A disappointing setback, but we’ll continue to provide industry leading programs.
