SCE Rates

[gypsywolf]

The 5th tier in the SCE rate structure is going into effect August 1st.

It will be 200% or more of baseline.

You are now paying .312 cents per Kwh for that amount of usage.

After August 1st you will be paying .482 cents per Kwh.

That is a huge jump of .17 cents per Kwh!! 

Shouldn't impact anyone using less than 200% of baseline, but for those that use over, it is going to have a big impact.

You can check your current bill to see where your usage falls and if you will be impacted or not..

Rumor has it the rate increase has been deferred until November..

I just got my bill for the past month. It was $156. I've been averaging about $50-70 a month for the past year. (2 people household).

Anyway, I called SCE and found out they adjusted my baseline rate, retroactive for the past 3 months, meaning they jacked on about $40, for those months that are long gone. I guess, they have the right to do that, which I think is BS.

My baseline rate went from 17 KW/per day to 10 KW/per day... which is a huge decrease in allotted use at the lowest rate. This is going to cost us alot more every month.

I'm curious what others baseline rates are in town.  I expect them to vary, but I really have no idea how different they may be.

thanx
