Decoupling does not reduce the overall bill for ratepayers. It keeps the utility whole when they sell less electricity. The reasons that CA has lower bills, even though rates are high is the weather (how much air conditioning is used on the coast?), the high number of people that live together in a single dwelling, and little high energy industry.
