Might I suggest checking your electric meter outside to make sure the reading matches what the electric company tells you. If not, they might be trying to take advantage of you because of your age ( I don’t mean any disrespect). Get a neighbor you trust to try and determine why your bill is so high.

No offense taken, I assure you. That did enter my mind and will demand that my meter be checked in person. I don't know if I have a smart meter, and if so, have no doubt that they can control that if I do. They latched onto me 2 years ago when I was paying 150 during the year and 175-200 during the summer. Now I can't get back. My utilities are now equal to my mortgage when 2 years ago they were half that.
You should also check the meter on the date they claim to check it. They might do it remotely. But ask what date that will be. The smart meters I believe are digital. The others you can see a small dial or wheel turning, and numbers moving slowly. You and at least one other person should take a picture of the meter on that date, and include a date on the photo. Good luck.
