SDGE Kwh Threshold? What is it?

[stevon]

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! :?:

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 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:
http://regarchive.sdge.com/tm2/pdf/ELEC_MAPS_Maps_-_Elec.pdf

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.

MrDRMorgan,

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it, no easy answer or chart available yet

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 and gas usage bill 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
Oct 295 Kwh $31.39 actual electricity part of the bill (not too bad)
It looks like I'm on the limit border of T1 rate, slipping into T2.

Stevon,

The usage break points depend on the billing area in which you live and the time of the year. If you live in the INLAND region, the summer break points for May through October - Summer time - would be as follows:

May, July, August, October: Baseline=347, 101% of BL to 130% of BL = 100, >130% of BL is unlimited.

June and Sept: Baseline=336, 101% of BL to 130% of BL = 101, >130% of BL is unlimited.

Using your usage numbers and the INLAND baseline area, I calculate your usage breaks down as follows:

June: BL = 336 101-130% = 15, July: BL = 272 101-130% = 0, Aug: BL = 278 101-130% = 0, Sep: BL = 265 101-130% = 0

I have a MS Excel spreadsheet set up to make all of these calculations along with the costs per month. I can send this to you if you give me your email address.

stevon,

Did you receive the spreadsheet?

MrDRMorgan,

Yes I did! thank you very much, helps with the EV costs evaluation I'm doing now
