[quote=CA renter]Just a sidenote, but in case people missed it, SDG&E is trying to get their high-rate customers (like us) to help lobby on their behalf to flatten the tier pricing.
Even though we’re well into Tier 4 in the hot summer months (and often throughout the year), we do not want flat pricing. IMHO, the reason they are trying to flatten the rates is because more and more people are getting solar. SDG&E is probably worried about losing their most profitable customers in the higher tiers, so are trying to push up profit margins on the lower end.
Just a public service announcement for the Piggs. :)[/quote]
That’s pretty interesting CAR. I wouldn’t want “flat-rate” pricing either, because my bill varies between $35 and $55 month about 8 mos per yr (depending on if I’m actually even home or running a whole-house fan 24/7 … like NOW) and $65 to $85 mo for 4 mos year (when I’m running heat intermittently).
This is for a 4/2 SFR (approx 2200 sf) with R-30 insulation over, under and all the way around situated ~1 mile from SD Bay.
Obviously, I wouldn’t be a good candidate for solar. Nor would I want to have to try to find a buyer who would be willing to assume a lease which I already signed :=0
