About 7 or 8 years ago the power company wanted to get me off my rotophase motors that we used to make 3 phase. They would have to run the wire for 2 1/2 miles , cut down a bunch of trees, set a lot of new poles. They said if I would sign a contract to use at least $50,000 worth of juice over the next 5 years they would not charge for putting it in. We were running a big diesel powered chipper that used about 15 gallons a day. So I swithced over. My electric bill runs about 1200 to 1400 per month, but we run a lot of motors plus that 100 HP hog. Mulch for 1 or 2 weeks pays the electric bill, so we came out very well. REMC makes very on the juice they sell me too. We're both happy.
