What is the T-1 ceiling of use before being billed at Tier2, 3 or 4 rate in SoCal San Diego Coastal zone?
It seems ridiculous and absurd that in this day of fingertip internet access to information, how difficult this simple question is to answer. Can some one verify my findings?
According to my findings in SDG&E territory, up to 300 Kwh a month usage is tier 1 rate or $0.18 per Kwh
Is that right?
My electricity usage has been over the last 4 months with occasional EV charging (2,3 per Mo) between 12:00 am and 6:00am :
June 351 Kwh $78
July 272 Kwh $67
Aug 278 Kwh $64
Sept 265 Kwh $60
October will be more, finally added a window A/C after 13 years of doing without. It looks like I'm on the limit border of T1 rate, slipping into T2.
Stevon,
I have spent hours going through this same exercise for PG&E. I think I can help. Note: you can find all of the following information at: http://www.sdge.com/rates-regulations/current-and-effective-tariffs/current-and-effective-tariffs
you can also get to this point by logging onto http://www.sdge.com. When the web page loads, type TARIFFS in the search box and you should end up at this same page.
1. Go to the following website and, on the map, find the SDG&E billing area in which you reside and write it down:

2. Go to the following website to get to the standard Residential Rate Schedule:
http://regarchive.sdge.com/tm2/pdf/ELEC_ELEC-SCHEDS_DR.pdf
I would print the entire schedule so it is easy to find the information you need. On sheet 5 you will find the baseline values for the billing area in which you live. Write down the baseline values. You have both summer and winter values.
3. On sheet 1 you will find the 3 baseline break points - baseline, 101% to 130% of baseline and above 130% of baseline. You will also find the cost per kWh under TOTAL RATE for each baseline category in summer and winter.
4. TOU is completely different. Again, you can find the necessary TOU information by going to:
http://www.sdge.com/rates-regulations/current-and-effective-tariffs/current-and-effective-tariffs
Click on RESIDENTIAL RATES. For an EV you probably want to consider schedule EV-TOU-2. You should be able to find all of the information you need if you start at this page and drill down to what you need.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it, no easy answer or chart available yet
MrDRMorgan said:stevon said:Does anybody know what is the threshold of Kwh used per month that kicks you into the next base rate level. I can't find a chart stating what the numbers are only confusing web calculators.
TOU chart does not clarify it either. Thanks for any help! :?:
