What is this billing model exactly> I tried to look it up in the context of utility billing but wasn't able to find anything.

Is this where SCE or another Edison has a third party leasing firm they partner with? I think these leases are for 30 years no? What happens when you sell a home with such a lease on it?
- robomartin 6y agoYou pay for energy, not power. The simple formula for energy is power x time. This is what "kWh" means... 1 kilo-Watt used for one hour. When calculating total energy utilization for a period of time during which power varies (your TV is turned on and off, air conditioner cycles, etc.) the calculation effectively entails the integral of power plotted against time. Another way to put it is that the energy is the area under that curve.
