I use quick books so it's very easy to look at any bill since we bought in 2010
As I said, it's possible just unlikely that most people can obtain this. Just look at the facts. SECO charges .1107 per KWH for the first thousand. Less any fuel savings. This can be per .018 per KWH for an effective rate of .0927 on a good month which is quite cheap. So this means on average you are consuming 900 KWH per month.

Now if you are energy aware your always on load is 100 to 150 watts and your fridge is 110 to 125 watts. So you are down 120+ KWH before you heat the water or heat/cool the home. All this said you can have bills this low but for the poster who asked the question, s/he should plan more if they want flexibility in the budget for energy.
