        "excerpt": "The delivery charge is tied to usage, its not a flat rate.  So if you used no electricity it would not cost you 280 to keep it on.  comparing it with other people wont matter because if someone pays 80 because they use way less it wouldn't matter to you.  You can compare your rate and make sure it isnt crazy high, but thats supply not delivery.  Also comparing to old property doesnt matter unless",
