- GoOnThenDoTell 4y agoI think my generator in santa clara charges something like 15c (flat) before distribution, which gets to 31c/41c/49cents depending on usage level. Nuclear seems like a normal price for the bay area
- zbrozek 4y agoThat sounds like PG&E pricing, not SVP pricing. Anybody on PG&E should have solar panels. Hang them off your balcony if you have to. The electricity rates are astronomical. http://zlnp.net/serve/pge_rates/pge-electric-rates.png http://zlnp.net/serve/pge_rates/pge-electric-rates.png

- mikeyouse 4y agoIn honesty, I was being modest with my "under $0.15/KWh" -- it's actually fixed price at $0.114/KWh. So I can run my heat pump to cool my house, my heat pump to warm my pool, and my electric car charger at 1pm on July 4th and still pay $0.114. It's a really great deal from a well-run local power company in the Midwest US. There is a fair amount of coal in the mix still (about 1/3 of summer generating capacity) which is being phased out over the next few years so we'll see what happens to rates.
