Not bad, hopefully this year isn’t stupid cold to where market rates exceed base. This past heating season it looks like your village only had one or two months of adjustments where PPA exceeded base with this one being the worst. NYSDPS is a good source to find the data. Even then tho it would only be about 1 or 2 cents/kwh difference on your bill which ain’t bad at all

You do you brother. Your own village electric department posted last year about how the rates don’t reflect the adjustment. Yes they have winter and summer rates but the adjustment goes above that and is variable based on how much they purchase on market, This has only really played a factor the past 2 years or so with this past winter being the worst in history. Just about every village electric department had to post notices because of people who got unexpectedly high bills. I also attached a snippet from my farms electric bill and how much the adjustment screwed me last year, insane power adjustment. Just trying to help a fellow miner out so you don’t potentially get burned since it’s sort of hidden.

There is a catch to your power rate tho, you will get power purchase adjustments based on what they actually buy power at. So your base may be 4.8c however during winter your rate will be about double or more. All the NY municipal utilities are forced to do this. Look at your bill will be an additional line item, my farm is in western NY at a municipal utility with base rates of about $0.02/kwh however during peak heating winter last year rate went to nearly $0.16/kwh because of the adjustment

Why not just turn it into a cname record pointing at stratum so they still get distribution benefit without changing?

Not bragging, simply stating it’s not the instant death that YouTubers make it out to be, the “thats live 220v” is annoying. Having worked plenty of live 480v electrical services for my fiat job and experiencing arc flashes from failed metering equipment where the only reason I’m still around is because the PPE I had on, there is a respect for electricity. The misinformation that is what I don’t like. And yes you are right if you somehow manage to become the path of least resistance it’s not going to end well. I’m by no means telling everyone hey go touch them for the heck of it, just showing if you accidentally do your more then likely going to be just fine.

I love all the mining YouTubers who tear apart machines and say don’t touch the bus bars while it’s turned on or you could die.. it’s 15-17v max, unless your made of metal or water your going to be fine.
