For what its worth, for May 8 to June 9 2015 (32 days) with us up north for the summer and the thermostat left set to 82F we used 243 kwh. For May 10 through June 8 2016 (29 days) with us up north for the summer and the thermostat left set to 84F we used 205 kwh. Doing the arithmetic, that's 7.6 kwh/day last year versus 7.1 this year. The half a kwh/day drop this year is likely nearly completely explained by the slightly higher setting we left the thermostat at this year versus last, so there doesn't appear to be anything unusual going on with the rates and the average temperatures look about the same this year as last.

P.S. Just received June bill and the usage was up significantly, from 7 kwh/day to 12.88 for the period. That seems like a lot, but if you look at the ratio of cooling degree days data they have for TV (at Weather Underground) for June versus May (541/362) its in the same ballpark, so not terribly surprising.
