looks like they signed a customer agreement to pay spot utility prices, that usually save them money, but in this environment the spot prices are crazy high. Why would the bill not stand?

I would think that there would have to be something to hang their hat on though, like at least give a notification to them saying "Motherfucker. The cost is going to go up by X $ per kW." An $8,000.00 residential utility bill in a single month is not something that a reasonable person would agree to.

Who’s not going to use electricity? You’re supposed to cancel your electricity before a big storm? This is nuts. We used to make it through big storms because we had reliable cheap consistent power. Whoever changed that to make money should be held accountable.
