BUT WHAT IS A KILOWATT HOUR?
It is a measure of how much electricity you use. Kilo means “one
thousand.” Therefore, a kilowatt is 1,000 watts. A kilowatt hour is 1,000
watts of electricity used in one hour. It is measured by your electric
meter.
Here are just a few:
family’s dishes!
WHAT WILL IT DO?
A kilowatt hour (less than 4 cents worth of electricity) can do many things.
e Light ten 100-watt bulbs for one hour!
e Or, run your frost-free refrigerator-freezer for more than three hours!
e Or, bring you an entire Super Bowl game on your TV!
e Or, operate a dishwasher to wash and dry two loads of the
What can 3%¢
buy today?
One kilowatt-hour of electricity, that’s what!
All four of these items can be accomplished with a total of 4 kilowatt
hours or a cost of about 15 cents. And, believe it or not, the price PP&L'’s
average residential customers pay for electricity today is almost the same
as it was 25 years ago. In 1951 it was 3.69¢ . . . today it is about 3.75¢ —
and that includes your fuel adjustment charge and Pa. Tax Surcharge.
THEN WHY IS MY BILL SO HIGH?
Twenty five years ago, if you were an average residential customer, you
used about 150 kilowatt hours of electricity per month. Today, if you're an
average residential customer you use about 500 kilowatt hours per month
. . . more than three times as much. An inventory of all the electrical ap-
pliance and entertainment items you've accumulated over the years quickly
tells the story.
Yes, rates have changed, too. During the 1950s and 60s PP&L had
been able to make several rate reductions. Starting in 1970 however, rates
began to rise . . . primarily due to rising fuel costs and inflation.
The point is, when you're talking electricity, 3% cents still buys a lot.
