electricity bill tripled for the month

[Kurtm16]

I was living in a tiny one bedroom unit with only 6 outlets in the entire house, My first 2 monthly bills averaged around @$120, $140. My third bill was a bit high at $330 but I thought that was due to running multiple heaters and stuff during winter. But Recently I moved and every powerpoint has be switched off for at least 2 weeks now. Yet upon receiving my final bill for the address It has stated that I owe $480 and have used 1'688Kwhs for a ONE PERSON unit, average 5 person households in the area average at around 590Kwhs. How has this happened?
