When they opened their most recent electricity bills, several Atlantic City Electric customers were startled to see that the cost of maintaining the lights had increased by a hundredfold.

Last week, customers started receiving the invoices. Some used social media to caution neighbors to check their statements, while others criticized the company for failing to verify its own work.
