I'm confused. As they mentioned at least seven times, the rounding up started on January 1, 2023. The bill you just received, the bill everyone just received, the bill many people are now complaining about, is the first bill to have this rounding up.

You can see many (all?) your past bills by logging onto the SECO energy Smarthub. But you must already know that if you receive your bills via email.

It was a surprise to me to. It took me about two minutes to figure out what was happening and find the previous announcements. But instead of getting indignant and accusing SECO of bad practices, I kicked myself for not paying attention. Then I thought about what the foundation was doing and what it cost me to participate and decided it was a good idea to remain enrolled.

But hey, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Un-enroll from e-billing so you can keep the paper copies to look back on. Un-enroll from automatic payments and instead write a check, stuff an envelope, and tear off another stamp. And by all means, opt-out of the roundup - you'll need that $6 to buy the checks, envelopes, and stamps.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
