My napkin math is that the $2.5B in profits accounts for about $0.14/kWH. This is based on total electrical energy production of 17,301 GWh, since PG&E doesn't

My napkin math is that the $2.5B in profits accounts for about $0.14/kWH.
This is based on total electrical energy production of 17,301 GWh, since PG&E doesn't seem to publish their total distributed energy.

- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoGreat idea to napkin math it, but I think you're off by a very large margin. CA energy commission shows PG&E's energy consumption to be over 70,000 GWh. $2,500,000,000 profit/70,000,000,000 kWh consumed is ~$0.035 per kWh. So not exactly the smoking gun that CA ratepayers are looking for. site: https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/california-electricity-data/california-energy-consumption-dashboards-0 https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/califo...
