I just checked my bill. Here in California, in the SF Bay Area, we're paying 82.7 cents per kWh. That's 62.6 cents for delivery and 20.1 cents for generation.
Those websites that report lower rates are incredibly wrong and misleading.
I don't think the numbers are "wrong," they are just aggregate. Obviously within a state as large as California there will be a lot of variation between regions.
I live in California and my energy prices are between $0.29 and $0.34 depending on the time of day. GP's point still stands that WV is cheaper than CA, but how much cheaper depends on which region of CA you are comparing it to.
These aggregate numbers they don’t reflect what most ratepayers actually pay.
For example, PG&E’s current E-TOU-C summer rates in SF Bay area are around $0.83/kWh peak and $0.62/kWh off-peak. That’s almost double the CPUC’s statewide “average” of ~$0.34/kWh.
But whatever, I'm just upset at how much we have to pay.
