An expensive lesson, don't do it.
from what I've read Energyplus takes the 'boiling frog' approach (raising rates slowly over time, which causes less customers to noice).
This may be a good time of year to initiate a switch, get the points, and switch back in my case to Penelec/GPU energy. AC usage is done for the year, and heavy furnace usage (gas heat but electric blower motor) doesn't get heavily used until mid winter.
I think the most I'll use is 2000 kw hours in a 4 month period with Energyplus.
