Electriciy in CA is ridiculously expensive. $0.27/kWh average rate is common in CA. Going up to $0.40+ if you get into the higher tiers.

But even with insane generation rates, most of the electric bill is the power company service fee, not the generation fee.

For example, out of a $200/mo bill, maybe $50 is electric generation, the rest is the service fee. PG&E is insanely badly run.
