[quote:Bluebird:MV8yMDYyNTk3XzM0Njk5MTMxXzI1M0Q1MTlB] AFAIK, this is standard especially for those who pay using the monthly estimate method. They just add in that month with or without power. But if you do not use the method of paying a monthly averaged amount, you are charged whatever you actually used. I use this and so had a very low power bill when it was off for over 2 weeks. That's what is done in my area when we have outages from hurricane or tornadoes. [/quote]
Original Message
Victims of Superstorm Sandy have received another shock during the Thanksgiving holiday when electrical bills were sent to them with regular usage rates despite the long-running blackouts.
On Thursday, Sandy victims on Long Island, New York were hit with another misery by being charged their usual full estimated rates from Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) even though they did not have any electricity for weeks after the fatal storm.
