    Wow! That’s the rate in my latest bill. My new home has an oversized solar system so I am only paying $70 for May after several months of negative bills, which they pay me 11c for.

    What should the rate be? What was the rate this month last year?

    Josh, I haven’t lived in east county that long so I don’t have last summer. My first bill for last fall I was paying 68c for peak hours.

    My office in San Diego was about 39c two years ago, 40c a year ago, and 40c now for summer peak rates.

    I don’t understand why a residence is paying almost double.

    Semi-related, if you live in a tier 2 or 3 fire area, it isn’t too difficult to qualify for a 100% rebate when you install a battery backup system even without solar.  If you don’t qualify for the 100% or 85%, it’ll still give back about 25%.

    JP: so close. My house is about half a mile from the border of a fire zone. Only two miles away form the border of the zone where SDGE will remove your property’s brush for free.
