Less than 20c per kWh for my local city power - https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/5/utilities/rates-schedules-for-utilities/residential-utility-rates/e-1-effective-2024-07-01.pdf https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/v/5/utili... About half the price of PG&E. This is in an otherwise PG&E area. People should be demanding their city handle power. It leads to half the price.

> People should be demanding their city handle power. It leads to half the price. My power is significantly cheaper than yours but it comes from a private company. Picking random cities doesn’t tell us anything at all about costs or efficiency. Different areas have different costs and expenses. You have to compare apples to apples.

  This is a PG&E area as stated charging ~40c per kWh as stated by the post above?

    It's interesting that 1) there are PG&E areas in Palo Alto (such as the Stanford University campus) and 2) PG&E manages the transmission grid for the whole SF Bay Area. Stanford endured lengthy PG&E power outages while the municipal utility continued to operate. However, the university probably has negotiated rates that are lower than what regular PG&E customers pay in Palo Alto.
