This is incredibly simple to fix.
Generation fee, TOU variable. You pay for the energy you use, depending on when you use it.
Transmission fee. Flat rate. You pay to keep the equipment maintained. Panel size fee, flat rate. You pay more if you need to support larger loads.
That’s the math.
Pacific gas and electric is privately owned by a billionaire family so those "fees" would end up going in their pocket while still having the slowest change to underground lines. The real solution is make it a public utility. It would fix a lot of problems with the service and how it is run.
TOU is bad for the environment. It's basically making it cheaper to use dirty sources like gas
Power costs different amounts at different times of the day. There’s no going around that.
