Mostly just that they can. It's more expensive per tier actually.

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.

They’re charging for solar because PGE is a greedy fuck.

Yes. 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.

Wait 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

PGE 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.

Take note, folks. Watch this trend spread.

Yep. And they are talking about a couple more price hikes next year. Significant ones.
