Power bill increase and Cops

Just pay on time man!!

In my experience PG&E is happy to take your money, Ive seen power bills in way excess of 1600$, pretty common in northern california.
Have adequate scripts posted depending on your county limits.(a 1000$+ power bill probably means you got alot of ladies)
Pay your bill on time.
If your going to use CARE program provided to lower income(less than 31,000$ a year), use it no longer than 1 or 2 crops in, then discontinue it.
Nothing in life is free, so if you steal power(which i dont condone) or use CARE discounts(usually between 60-80% off your bill) dont do it longer than you need to, if you can afford to pay retail for power, do it.

I question how anyone's bill could be over $1000 in one month. Mine has never been over $100.

What does this mean "I have electric heat but no knocks or interest in 8 months"?

$1000.00 bill is not too far off
Let's say one is running a 2 1000 watt hps for flowering 12 hrs aday
1 1200 watt ac to cool the garden sealed 24 hrs aday
1 500 watt dehumidifier 24 hrs aday
1 400 watt MH for vegging
1 1000 watt ac in room outside for your garden to keep veg room cool (passive intake,also ac in flower room dual hose still needs cool air for intake hose)
1 105 watt CFL for cloning station
plus pumps,timers,fans,exhaust,controller,co2 system.
summary:
2000 watt hps 12hrs aday= 24 kilowatt usage daily
1200 watt ac 24hrs aday= 28.80 kilowatt usage daily
500 watt dehumidifier 24hrs aday= 12 kilowatt usage aday
400 watt MH 16hrs aday= 6.40 kilowatt usage aday
1000 watt ac outside room 24 hrs aday= 24 kilowatt usage aday
pumps,timers,everything else that is need to run an op lets say draws 400 watt 24hrs aday = 6.40 kilowatt usage aday.
If one were to add all this that = 101.60 kilowatts aday X 30 days in 1 month that =3,048 kilowatts a month.
3,048 kilowatts X $.30 per kilowatts after taxes and all the other bullshit fees= $914.40 and that's not including if one has another ac in another room + TVs,PC,fridge,water heater ect...
So $1000 bill is not far fetch for a small or med grow op. I live in NY so we pay high electric bills.

a 1000$ bi;; is not a stretch at all.
My bill right now is almost 300, and that is WITH the care discount. it would be closer to 800 if I did not get this discount.
