Can’t speak for PG&E, but I know from experience that it’s cousin SDG&E (the most expensive in the country I believe) will charge more than 60¢/kWh in the summer during certain times of the day and I’ve even had it be over 80¢ at certain times if memory serves me right. They’ve recently retired and restructured a bunch of rate plans, but almost all historical and current rates can be found on their website[0]. Somehow they still managed to keep things nice and complex. Keep in mind that none of these reflect so called CCA pricing, which is another story in of itself. Same for the “baseline allowance” after which rates go up, although they’ve now seemed to have structured is a discount to somewhat simplify rate comparisons. 0: https://www.sdge.com/total-electric-rates https://www.sdge.com/total-electric-rates Edit: Got curious so looked at some statistics. Top lists of most expensive electricity rates all mention Alaska and Hawaii, ok fair enough, but even in the contiguous states California isn’t even mentioned somehow. At the same time there are articles like[1] these[2] that claim SDG&E was the most expensive (at the time). So I guess what I’m saying is that I’m not sure. 1: https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/fox-5-asks-sdge-why-our-electricity-is-among-most-expensive-in-u-s/ https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/fox-5-asks-sdge-why... 2: https://www.cbs8.com/article/money/amped/san-diego-has-the-highest-electricity-rates-in-the-country/509-b33c2aa1-5414-431d-a060-273059f1e0da https://www.cbs8.com/article/money/amped/san-diego-has-the-h...
