minus-squareFubarberry@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 day agoThat seems really high, I think power where I live is about 12-14 cents per kilowatt hour. What makes it so expenses where you live?
minus-squaremesamune@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-21 day agoMostly just that they can. It’s more expensive per tier actually. https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/residential-electric-rate-plan-pricing.pdf Take a look, this is the old pricing.

minus-squareImacat@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 day agoThey’re charging for solar because PGE is a greedy fuck.
minus-squaremesamune@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoYes. There was talk locally for local government to take control of the power but it’s just talk… It gets over 110 where I live in the summer…so air conditioning can make it very expensive.

minus-squarebobs_monkey@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·24 hours agoDamn, I wish ours was that cheap. We’re roughly $.30/kwh, mostly because our local poco is a reseller of SCE and we’re in a rural area.
