We paid 33 cents / kWh on the bay area last year. Not sure how the rest of CA is doing.

I'm on T3 with an excessive use surcharge, so I'm closer to 45 cents here in the North Bay.

Forget “the rest of California”, that's extremely high for the Bay Area. Last year, SF Area average retail electricity prices by month ranged between 22.9 ¢/kW and 24.0 ¢/kW.

Most of my usage is in tier 2 at $0.31443/kWh. In practice the actual bill comes out to $0.44/kWh because of all the random other complicated cruft.
