Extreme Temperatures Make For Electricity Revenues

Electricity cost is only second choice to electricity consumption. No data available on that?

there is electricity cost data, but it actually just follows temperature exactly.

derwisch,

If you click into the data set above (US Electricity Costs), you'll see stats on electricity sales (and therefore consumption).

Air conditioners run on electricity, but many people heat their houses with gas, which costs much less. Would be interesting to add natural gas to the chart.

The chart title mentions profits, but the data does not show profits, it simply shows electricity use. If everyone used the power company's "bill leveling" service, company profits would actually be higher in the off months when people are overpaying, than in the summer and winter months when they are underpaying relative to their monthly use.

title of graph changed for above point.
