SDG&E delenda est
Check out my office's 2nd quarter report on the rates crisis in California. Some 1/5 of households are behind on their energy bills, which is an insane number. www.publicadvocates.cpuc.ca.gov/-/media/cal-...

SDG&E is expanding its cheapest daytime rates year-round, reflecting a grid increasingly flush with solar power midday.
Customers who shift energy use — running dishwashers, charging EVs — between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. stand to save meaningfully.

More clean energy prompts SDG&E to offer new daytime off-peak rates
The new rates, which were previously available only in March and April, will now be available year-round on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. starting May 1.

that's great but like only 1/3rd of my bill is generation from SDCP and 2/3rds of my bill already goes to SDG&E for "delivery" (i.e. burying power lines for people who live in fire zones, liability for other fires power lines already caused)
We’re gonna start seeing electric prices fall in California.
CAISO battery revenues fell to $2.55/kW-month in June, down 17% year-over-year with temperatures flat on last year. The compression came from the supply side: wind rose 31.5% as SunZia ramped, and evening peak prices dropped 33% to $35/MWh.

Why would SDG&E be opposed to balcony solar?
Because it undercuts their bottom line, an op-ed writer argues.

SDG&E’s Questionable Case Against Balcony Solar
Voice of San Diego reports that SDG&E and other investor-owned utilities are lobbying hard against “balcony solar” — devices that allow people to reduce electricity costs by plugging small solar […]

If your SDG&E bill feels like it’s gotten out of control, you’re not alone. The average San Diego customer is now paying 50% more than they were in 2021. That’s an extra $600 a year out of your pocket.
San Diego electric bills are rising fast
Average monthly SDG&E bills have climbed sharply in recent years, reflecting broader energy cost trends.

SDG&E has cut off the power for many San Diegans to prevent the spread of the wildfires – and many more could be affected in the coming days.

SDG&E just filed for another rate hike, asking to raise your monthly bill by 8.6% starting in 2028.
Electric rates in our region have already gone up 98% over the past decade.

I can’t find specifics, but their Southern neighbor, SDG&E has been undergrounding lines since at least the ‘80s, despite similar earthquake risk…

Just adding this week's update to the national map below. How charging for me is that second to last line on the bottom, under $1/gallon on SDG&E's EV TOU rate. SDG&E being the most expensive energy provider in the continental U.S.
Saving $5/gallon ;)

Right now, Anza-Borrego needs protection from the unnecessary development of the Golden Pacific Powerlink Project.
This is a proposed 500-kilovolt transmission line that SDG&E wants to route through Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Are the billions of dollars being spent by PG&E, SoCal Edison and SDG&E to limit wildfire ignitions from their electric lines worth the cost of higher power bills? Great reporting from @gauchoesque.bsky.social illuminating the trade-offs: calmatters.org/environment/...
Californians pay billions for power companies’ wildfire prevention efforts. Are they cost-effective?
California granted PG&E, SCE and SDG&E permission to charge $27 billion to prevent wildfires. But soaring electric bills are raising new questions.

Nearly the entire increase is based on SDG&E Electric Delivery. This seems like straight up robbery.

San Diego pays some of California's highest energy rates partly because SDG&E earns guaranteed profits by building infrastructure. The more it spends, the more it makes.
