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”.
It doesn’t say that it says most of their costs are fixed and cost of those large fixed costs are more so amortized per head than per kWh which means higher rates for less usage.
