Its already 50c or more per kilowatt hour... https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/residential-electric-rate-plan-pricing.pdf

On top of the "The Electric Home Rate Plan includes a $15-per-month Base Services Charge"... because people were starting to get 100% of their power from solar and it was "unfair".

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.

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.
