According to their table, CA residential prices are 22.26 cent/kwh. Right. 

It's easy to get to low numbers if you don't take into account the number of subsidized customers, 
and all of the other fees that crooks at PG&E add to their pricing. Here is a more accurate picture, 
taken directly from my energy bill. I have solar, so I picked a month that had little "return" traffic. 

With apologies to those on the list who still use mutt/pine etc. 

But wait, there's more! This does not include the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Electric Generation Charges. 

So I am paying a grand total of $239.14 for 656.928 KwH of electricity. 

That makes 36.4 cents per KwH. 

It gets even better. For a month in the summer: 

Do you see that? My solar panels produced more power than I used, and I'm *still* paying PG&E. 

This (admittedly anecdotal) evidence clearly proves that the Dept of Energy's table is cherry-picked bollocks. My rate is 163% of their "average". 

Thanks,
