the electric company exists for 1 reason and 1 reason only To Charge you for the electricity you use as long as you are not stealing power and you ar paying the bill no worries
That's my opinion as well, but I'm unsure of where the OP lives/grows. For all I know, the local authorities may have some agreement with the electrical companies to watch out for significant variations in usage.

I'm one of those rare guys who thinks that LEDs and HID are both great for growing weed, but this situation is exactly what LEDs were meant for. If you just don't like them fair enough. But I really think you should look into them.

I'm wondering it I make the electric a buisness account vs a personal account and make the electric level out over the day by running rooms on opposite schedules would be good enough to keep them happy as long as I am paid in full on time.

Also is paying ahead on my electric like paying a lump sum to cover multiple months in advance a bad idea does that look bad to them?

Appreciate all the input so far
You must be in a red state sucks.making a business account sounds smart also the room flip sounds smart, I wouldn't put up a bunch of money on future bills red flag same with genies runnning 24-7 dead give away. good luck bigger is not always better!

Although I'm an HID guy (I do use a 240W LED in my mother/clone tent though), that's very reasonable.

I have a friend in Alberta who runs 12 1000W HPS in flower in a grid pattern, and alternates the lights over the 12-hour on period. Using a staggered approach, half are on and half are off, every hour, they switch. Provides the same coverage, just alternating.
