"SDG&E suggests implementing flat fee on utility bills"

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has proposed a mandatory fixed-fee concept for California utility customers, which would account for all the costs of maintaining, protecting and developing the grid, as well as the cost of state-mandated public purpose programs, into the cost of a kilowatt hour. The proposal includes four different tiers based on household income, with the actual cost of buying electricity for San Diego customers falling to about $.27 per kilowatt hour. If adopted, California would be the first state in the nation to have a part of a household’s utility bill be determined by income.

San Diego's Push for Sustainable Energy: Flat Rates and Gas Reduction Targets.

San Diego Gas & Electric has proposed a new flat-rate pricing plan for residential electric rates that would lower costs for most low- and moderate-income customers and prepare for phasing out natural gas appliances and gasoline-powered vehicles. The plan calls for four flat-rate tiers based on household income to cover the cost of transformers, transmission lines, billing, and customer service. Customers would pay the flat rate plus an average of 27 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity used, compared to the current average of 47 cents per KWh. The utility estimates that the average low-income customer could save as much as $300 a year under the new rate plan.
