Fridges using ice that are Off the Grid will no longer drain power.
Fixed in Patch 1.105.297/1.87

@LaJefa_05Interesting. I will try deleting my fridge and see if the power just drains on its own regardless. I did make sure that in the Bills menu it is set to "store" and not auto-sell, so it shouldn't be draining.
Edit: deleting the fridge kept my power, in my game. Once I added the off-the-grid fridge back, it started draining again.
Hmm, do you have candles on your lot? I'm starting to think it might also be a bug that candles are using power when they shouldn't on my lot.
I can confirm it's the fridge, even my Ice Box-style fridge uses power (and way too much; Five Roof-top Solar Panels, 1 Roof-top Wind Generator and 1 Ground Windmill can't keep up to a 5 Energy Consumption Iced Fridge) and not the candles. Note it takes a few seconds sometimes for the bills to update, so factor in that to your calculations. Also I'd like to add that it'd be nice (somewhat related) to have individual appliance power/water toggles instead of switching the entire house. (I know I can just store them in household inventory but that's not a real solution)

Edit: Since it's likely related to the power constantly switching on/off from this effect can I suggest that we reduce the number of notifications on off-the-grid changes until such a time as this bug is fully repaired? Either that or add an option in the Settings Menu: Limit repeated Notifications by playtime 5 minutes, 30 minutes, or 2 hours? I mean it's really annoying.
