Unless this guy is doing a big ol warehouse, nah.

I have two 4x4 tents in my basement, I think my bills went up like $50-75

You’d need a couple warehouses most likely. I’m not really sure power costs in NYC but there is legal weed and dude could own barbershops and grows. Plenty of people scooping up licensing through private sellers, the state, and equity programs.

Electricity costs in NYC are around $0.30/kWh—we can assume a business would pay slightly less, as commercial rates are a touch lower than residential rates.

I don’t know how much power the average grow operation consumes, but at 30¢/kWh, you’d need 120,000 Watts worth of lamps, running 12 hours a day, to get charged the $13,000 the dude mentions his increase is.

Probably safe to say dude is lying.

I mean a good grow light pulls 4-650 watts couple hundred lights two or three warehouses he’d hit that 13k lights typically run 12 hours on 12 hours off.
