Need to add that $100-$130 is based on a "Helco month" which is no 30 day cycle. Our bill is about $110 per calendar month. Also need to add that 80% of our clothes are line-dried with the remaining using an electric dryer. We do have a small outdoor kitchen that uses propane that we use frequently.
Also, our last electric bill in Alaska was over $400 (and our highest was nearly $1200, and we did NOT have electric heat), so we don't know what everybody is complaining about.
