Interesting topic! With the shift to remote work, electricity bills are a significant concern. Companies now need to account for the additional costs of employees' home electricity usage. To help estimate the impact, it would be useful to compare electricity bills before and during the pandemic.
Please share your bills using MEPCO bill check to get a clearer picture. Your input will help us manage these costs better.

I wonder how much this is offset by the lack of commuting expenses? At least in terms of time, the savings must be significant. It would be interesting to see the differences.
