I do not believe this is correct. The devices in our homes draw a set
amount of power, measured in watts, to function. Our electric bill is
based on kilwatts times hours, so the bill would not vary.
With a higher voltage, we would simply draw less current from the line:
Watts= Volts X Amps
Raise the voltage, lower the amperage (current draw,) but the
kilowatt-hours stay the same.
