As A CA resident living under the thumb of PGE I have to say that nothing shocks me any more.

The current PGE rates basically redline a whole portion of the state.

Gray Davis got run out of town on the back of Enron's nonsense. The fact that there is abject lack of fall out from the current pricing is, outrageous.




Isn't most of the PGE charge transmission not generation?


in most of US the cost of residential power is almost entirely in the delivery, not the generation. If folks knew how much they were being fleeced they'd lose their minds.


SoCal Edison isn't any better.

When I left CA my off-peak cost was more expensive per kWh than my on-peak cost here in Phoenix. And that on-peak is for 3 hours per day.
