Why wouldn't you be able to?
- ChuckMcM 12y agoIf you are asking why I don't end up with a $0 bill it is because PG&E builds a per kwH 'cost' schedule that includes various tiers of usage. But they don't adjust how much credit I get by baseline usage. As a contrived example, let's say Baseline is 200kWH and .10 per kWH, and I use 300kWH which is billed at 200kWH at 'baseline' rate, and 100kWH at 'premium' rate of .125 per kWH. My "billed" cost is $32.50, If I then generate 300kWH I get "credit" for 300 baseline rate kWH or $30.00, and have to eat the difference between the baseline rate and the premium rate or generate and extra 25 kWH to cover the difference. I've had extended phone conversations with them and they completely understand that this is exactly the situation, they are pretty pleased with themselves for getting it through the regulators.
