minus-squaremesamunelinkEnglish6•edit-219 days agoI think at max 200w? It runs a collection of fedi/self service stuff. I also run a pi with a couple of apps on a pi 3 that sips power. It’s a legitimate issue because it’s 50+ cents per killowat hour where I live so power is very expensive…
minus-squareFubarberrylinkfedilinkEnglish6•19 days agoThat seems really high, I think power where I live is about 12-14 cents per kilowatt hour. What makes it so expenses where you live?
minus-squaremesamunelinkEnglish7•edit-219 days agoMostly just that they can. It’s more expensive per tier actually. https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/residential-electric-rate-plan-pricing.pdf Take a look, this is the old pricing. They just voted to up it again. There’s legislation that is moving along to charge people with solar because…idk.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•19 days agoThey’re charging for solar because PGE is a greedy fuck.
minus-squaremesamunelinkEnglish3•19 days agoYes. There was talk locally for local government to take control of the power but it’s just talk… It gets over 110 where I live in the summer…so air conditioning can make it very expensive.
minus-squareFubarberrylinkfedilinkEnglish3•19 days agoWait this is in the US? How, this is even more expensive than Hawaii, and they have obvious reasons for power to be more expensive there
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-219 days agoPGE serves Northern California. They keep raising rates like 10-15% each year to cover their losses after all the wildfires a couple years ago and because of the greed.
minus-squaremesamunelinkEnglish4•19 days agoYep. And they are talking about a couple more price hikes next year. Significant ones.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•19 days agoDamn, I wish ours was that cheap. We’re roughly $.30/kwh, mostly because our local poco is a reseller of SCE and we’re in a rural area.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-218 days ago0.50 $/kWh is a normal price in Europe now
minus-square@corrodedlinkEnglish3•19 days agoHoly shit. I’m paying less than 10c per kwh even in the “high usage” tier.
