Happy listening in SoCal

Hair Gell Boy up in Sac will NEVER bring lower rates to our state, so don't get your hopes up. The lowest rate tier was 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM. If they dropped anything it would be that one. Thats the time for instance, when swimming pool owners run their pumps to filter their pools. Wouldn't it be swell if the cost of living was constantly being pushed down rather than up?

charliee-

Not long ago, SCE dropped the medical device discount RATE and just upped the limit for KWH use.

They sure aren't going to lose $$ on adjusting.

I use a modest tube intg, tube phono and tube tuner and  see how a marathon session can drive the monthly  bill up.

Time to go Class D/off the grid-NOT!

Don't panic until you see the actual tier structure. Consolidating three into two increases the structure (duration) of the tiers but to what extent, we won't know until the next billing cycle. 

What got my goat was an announcement a couple months ago about someone slipping in a $25 charge when going over into the next tier even if only slightly. It may even apply across the board no matter how little you use (I forget). No one noticed it as it was buried in the fine print and a lot of legislators were pissed about it. Whoever put that in needs to be exposed as it was a handout to the utilities providers.

All the best,

To reduce the background noise, I tend to turn off the a/c and fans when listening to music unless it becomes too uncomfortable.  The a/c units consume far more than the stereo.

We also have solar, but SCE still finds ways to screw us.

Awesome.
