    Households earning less than $28,000 a year would pay a fixed delivery rate of $24 per month.
    Households earning under $69,000, the fixed price goes up to $34.
    Households earning between $69,000 and $180,000, the price goes up to $73. Households earning over $180,000 dollars will pay $128.

    I was a little confused by these rates as they're massive cuts....but now I see.
    The above is simply your grid connection fee. Your minimum monthly bill regardless of how much power you use.

    SDG&E told KFMB that “everyone’s” average kilowatt-hour rate would drop from 47 cents to 27 cents.

    Unless you use power when you need it....then those punitive rates will remain in effect.

    I couldn't understand why the utilities will push something so insane.
    But now I do.
    The proposal is part of a new state law requiring utility companies to come up with fixed-rate plans to make billing more equitable.
