Local Electricty company shut me down for mining.

[ChineseSavior]

My beloved mother got a letter today for my house. to much electricity

Memorandum on this much usage. Unreal. Not even using that much (about 8000 watts)

just wanted to let everyone know to tread lightly. NWO is chugging right along.

Huh? What country are you in? Judging from your username you're in China. I can't believe that's even legal for them to shut you down. Are you without electricity now?

[magemist]

What country is this in? So we know where the New world order is starting there reign from.
The reckoning is coming and it is 16 years so late.

He is in Oregon USA iirc.

He posted a lot of posts on this in the beginning of the summer.  He felt he was being spied on.

I not really sure what to say since I am not sure about laws on your meter use.

8000 kwatt in a month is a big bill for a home owner.

Maybe he has 100 amp service in his home.  Using 8000 kwatts in month is 11 kwatt 24 hours for 30 days.

And 100 amp service doing 11 kwatt is very high to the power company as they would think he is doing 120 volts and pulling 83 amps

Electricity willg o up.....


i got  a bill, extra big, because i consumed about 7800kwh daily.

I payed around 50usd per month, , last bill was on 700usd, because they felt that we were consuming to much electricity.


We also got a state consummers "letter" saying that prices will be higher because they will change the cables inside all the city houses/buildings as they are old and from 1960 or earlier.

but the project is for 2 years from now and there is no justification.



here you can see monopoly at it best.

I was paying 0.4 per kwh , now my bill is about 1.2usd per kwh. like wtf, i tried to complain but everyone nows the talk, big companies....

[adaseb]

Maybe he lives in an area where there is a shortage of power or whatever distribution he is connected in.

[ChineseSavior]

Just to clarify I am in WA.

The have a candid letter they send to anyone about this stuff apparently. A memorandum to prevent locals from doing much with the power source. Politics at its finest.

Last I heard even the people with commercial facilities are under the microscope. commercial/non commercial doesn't matter they are spying and putting the halt on everyone with that letter.

Hate to see what would happen if did not comply.

I got the a$$ end of this so sorry if my details are vague.

BTW electric is not shutoff. just warning letter like the letter the ISP's send you now.

I am running 200amp service didn't think I was even close to getting flagged yet to that level. just spying

Have you tried to get any information about what is the limit in kwatt per house, maybe splitting your amp to 70-70-60 (in 3 different places) would worth?

 Interesting FUD, happens my power company is aware I was mining and didn't AND STILL DOES NOT CARE as long as I keep the bill paid up.

 I am also in Washington State.

 I suspect there is something else going on here the OP isn't talking about.

[MarkAz]

I suspect in Oregon/Washington it's going to be far more interested in this than most states, especially on the residential side of things.  They've been working towards enforcing that kwh/sqft pricing to help curb mining, as it doesn't really accomplish what they had intended from the economic development point of view (draw in manufacturing, jobs, etc).

Here in AZ, my largest bill was just under $4k for one month, more than 60k+ kWh - but I have 400a service and they've never said anything to me.  The only thing they really cared about was that everything was fine with the city (in terms of permits, etc), and I had taken care of that.

Nothing else going on. As stated. Got a letter because there is a memorandum for the hydro damn. I'm going to see what can be done but doubt anything can be done better just to liquidate equipment and move on

[dance191]

What is the name of the utility you are talking about?

 The ONLY country PUD that has anything involving "kwh/sq ft" as a limit is Chelan in Washington - and per my reading of the recently enacted rate change it only applies to large accounts in the industrial power level and *MAYBE* to very large commercial-range accounts.

 I strongly suspect that Chelan, Grant, and Douglass are the only places in the US that would be inclined to worry about it, since they're the lowest rates in the USA by quite a bit due to subsidising local rates by selloff of large quantities of excess electric production.
 Chelan would be the most worried since they have long had the highest "local" usage due mostly to the population of Wenatchee (which by itself is a fair bit higher than the total COUNTRY populations of Grant or Douglass) yet IIRC they have the lowest total power production of the 3 counties by a narrow margin (all 3 are close to 2000 Megawatts total generation out of their respective dams).



 BTW - the only "moratorium" related to the hydro dams or PUDS in the area was one Chelan PUD had on *HALF MEGAWATT OR LARGER* new projects while they were researching to develop their new "high density" rate. There is NO BLOODY WAY that would impact a residential user.



 I'm also quite sure it wasn't the amount of usage being "risky" - I used very close to that 8000 KWH in a TRAILOR (pair of the old style 50 amp plug-ins for service) the last 6 months or so I was in Iowa.
 My current usage last month was a bit over 9000 KWH on a 100 AMP service.


 I'm to the point of calling the OP a LIAR about the reason(s) for this alleged "warning", and starting to wonder if there ever WAS an actual "warning" as they are claiming, especially given the other paranoid BS they have posted in the past.

Sadly that's normal for Power company's in some states they have to much control . my power company was suppose to give us more then 3 power saving days they lost all most 5 million or more with those three day's  in July that was the lowest power bill i had in two years even with my miners running that I have left. I read some place, there were other power company's in my area that did have Power saving days in Aug during those really hot days . BG AND E  didn't .

it's about what they lose they don't really give a rats ass what you use etc like they say it's about money more then any thing. all the power company's no matter how cheap etc it is want us paying them 500 or more a month as base . and want to make us pay for all/any research they do , it's sad but true .This kind of shit goes on a lot in my state then gets covered up to some extent .


Even if they tell you later on those warning were a mistake i wouldn't trust it, mistake or not something maybe about to happen there and it leaked to soon .

we have all kinds of ways of producing power that is a lot safer to do then most company's do now they won't use it because well money they stand to lose to much. i got a letter once offering me 100 % clean energy at 4 cent more then what i pay now because it was clean energy, how i see that is if it is really clean energy then how come it cost so much more if it is cheaper and safer to produce so the letter said and is it really 100 % clean energy,the answer is NO, how I know it's not, when I looked into going solar,( had to put that on hold for now ) the company I talked to told me any power, i sell back is sold and mixed in the main power grind and resold for more . solar as far as i know is one form of clean energy. I even looked at some portable solar kits which is one idea i may do yet just for mining during the day and shut them off at nite because i don't do it for a living and have no real plans to, in about a year and a half i hit 62, then the rules and laws change some that allow me more freedom in what i can make etc . i may increase my farm again and go a a little hard core in my home for now I'm not .I'm mostly GPU mining and building a Nice GPU farm as i go, I'm in no big rush at this point there is no reason to rush it.

in your case don't trust any BS they feed you .

I can assure all of you that the letter was very real.

The farm will be getting ran into the ground. Will post results when

A) Electricity gets shut off

B) Get raided for 2nd time.

shout out to all the haters and nay-sayers. You are what makes this community great.

[Dabs]

Ignore the letter. Pay the bill. Send all your coins to cold storage every day, so if you do get raided your coins are safe. If mining in a pool, there should be an auto-withdraw address. It's been 2 years since I was mining any proof-of-work coins, not counting experimenting with new ones that appear.

And what exactly would they Raid? Washington has legal marijuana, I still think they are confusing you for a grow operation, raiding miners doesn't make much sense.

I have researched this further but have not finalized my research yet. Apparently all high density load customers now need to fill out an application to be approved for the new high density load rates. Stay tuned. These policies goes into effect Jan 1st 2017. These policies are very political and crooked imo.

seems to be a good video so far about 20mns in I'm one of the toughest critics and I'm impressed.

btw the video has a lot and is primarily about bitcoin and power companies so its worth a watch to all on forum

The 'applying for higher load' bit does not surprise me. In a way it matches with what you said about them updating the power lines in your area and this is their way to get info on what wire, transformer, and fusing sizes to put in.

My local power company likes to send out usage emails every week and typically I am a constant 3x higher usage than the 'Average' user in my area (and 4x higher than the lowest reported).

Like Savior, I have 200A service, miner load is 3.5kW so yes, using a lot but well under the service maximum. Aside from the friendly usage notes, never heard a word from the power co about usage.

All I can say is that if for some reason you *do* get raided make sure all your ducks are in a row so ya can laugh at them...
eg, if legally growing, follow all rules: (# of plants), location (near a school?), Notice signage (State rules regarding growing), etc. If a legal user, have your MM card and/or be sure to be under max weight of weed in the house.
