Slowly ticking up since the December drop. I have to imagine that unless Q4 numbers are really bad then we will see another sizable uptick. No?
The process of approving new rates between Utilities and the local PUCs is a mess. It's not an intelligent process. Drives me bonkers.
For sure I think many of the residential TOU options I've seen are poorly designed. The entire point of TOU is to deter heavy use during peak times...if most customers are worse off switching to that rate unless they make substantial changes to their usage then the whole thing is pointless.We do have TOU as an option but it doesn't make sense for many to actually use it unless you have solar or a Powerwall. (You get a ~3 cent discount for off-peak, mid peak stays the same, and peak goes up ~5 cents.)
And getting a second meter installed to just charge your EV would be cost prohibitive for most people. (Driving 12k miles a year and charging 100% off peak at home would only save you ~$100/year.)
