INVESTIGATING THE FACTORS CONTRIBUTING OR REASONS TO

HIGH ELECTRICITY BILLS/CHARGES.

I. Introduction
Statement of the problem

The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the factors that

contribute to high electricity bills in residential households. With the
rising concerns over escalating energy costs and the need for
sustainable energy consumption, it is crucial to understand the
underlying factors that influence the amount of electricity consumed
and, subsequently, the financial burden on consumers. This study
aims to identify and analyze the various factors, such as household
characteristics, appliance usage patterns, and energy conservation
behaviors, which significantly impact residential electricity
consumption and contribute to higher energy bills.

This research aims to provide valuable insights into the complex

relationship between electricity consumption patterns and billing
amounts. Ultimately, the findings of this study can contribute to the
development of targeted interventions, energy-saving initiatives,
and consumer education programs that promote more sustainable
and cost-effective electricity usage in residential settings.
