The electricity rates in the SF Bay Area are astronomical primarily because PG&E is trying to pay off the fire damage and deaths they have been causing regularly since 2015. In my opinion, the company is a colossal disaster. But more importantly, CPUC is complicit, bordering on incompetent [1]. Our regulatory commission is not in the business of protecting utility consumers. Using these electricity rates as an example of where rates are going because datacenters are being built in those areas is wild! The rates have essentially nothing to do with datacenters.
