Hm? I live in SF and it's considerably below that on average? https://www.bls.gov/regions/west/news-release/averageenergyp... says the area averages ~0.35$

Downtown where?

LADWP switched to time of use scheduling, so my rates are anywhere from 0.16/kwh to 0.21/kwh ( https://www.ladwp.com/ladwp/faces/ladwp/residential/r-custom... )

SCE is a little more expensive with their tiered plans ranging from 0.32/kwh to 0.42/kwh

For context, downtown LA should be all on LADWP

Downtown San Jose is around $0.75/kWh if you use power to heat/cool your 2BR unit.
