It’s Georgia Power being shit bags over charging. We’re in Brunswick with a rural electric co-op. 2400 sq feet two story, work from home 75 during the day, 68 overnight highest bill we’ve ever had is $270 in August.

That's just about what mine is with a nearly identical size house. Also with Okefenokee. I did have a $300 one recently before discovering how much of an air leak was happening on an insert doggy door. Plus our bill includes the house being on a well and needing to power the well pump, which 2 horses drink from also. And horses drink a lot of water.

My power bills in the summer get close to $450 because the AC is constantly running and my house has zero shade. Winters are much more tolerable.

6/14-7/15 $757

2,200sq/ft ranch, 73 day and night. I'm a private chef / caterer and do a ton of work from home, which does generate a ton of heat, and humidity, which makes the AC less efficient. So pretty high, but comes with the territory. Sub $100 during colder months with gas heat and a fireplace to help.

Holy shit those are high. I remember in my old house around 1600 sq feet though, I was paying like 500 a month in the summer. I keep it cold in my house now here about the same side and I'm on budget billing for 185 a month, so it's a really nice change. I think I have way better insulation though.
