KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C. — A father in Kings Mountain was shocked at the energy bill he received last month.
Thomas Collins told Channel 9′s Ken Lemon that with a family of six, he’s used to paying a lot. But last month, his bill was nearly $500.
Energy bills are normally higher during the winter months, but this is different -- and Lemon learned it’s not just happening in Kings Mountain.
Experts said part of the problem is the increase in power usage that happened in December.
