This lists California at $0.15/kWh. I've never paid even close to that anywhere I've lived.
The current PGE residential rate of $0.28/kWh [0] is about the same as Honolulu, Hawaii, where 100% of electricity is produced from burning natural gas and petroleum.[1]

- rconti 8y agoSilicon Valley Electric was 8c when I lived there, 10c now. My PG&E's lowest off-peak rate is now 16c, though I'm on a TOU plan and just installed solar, and I have generation through Peninsula Clean Energy so my bill is somewhat more complicated than the charts involved to send Apollo 11 to the moon.
- mmt 8y ago> Silicon Valley Electric was 8c when I lived there, 10c now. If you mean Silicon Valley Power, the municipal electric utility for Santa Clara, it's now (as of Jan 2017) 11.82c [1] for residential non-TOU for the upper tier. It's also only for the city of Santa Clara. Palo Alto has a municipal utility, but its rates are higher, and these are exceptions. AFAIK, the vast majority of California is served by a private utility (e.g. PG&E).

- zyren 8y agoI live in San Diego and I pay on average 40 cents per kw after everything. I used under 1000kw this last bill and the electricity portion was around $400, gas was $15, total bill around $432.
