Near San Francisco, my residential base rate is $0.115/kWh for 350 kWh
per month during the summer. For the next 100 kWh per month, it jumps
to $0.13, then to $0.23/kWh for 200 kWh, then to $0.325 for 350 kWh,
then to $0.35/kWh. Adding these numbers together, you hit the $0.32/kWh
rate at about 22 kWh/day. During the winter, the allowance at each rate
doubles.
When I left Chicago (three years ago), I was paying $0.09/kWh during
the winter and $0.10/kWh during the summer. We ran air conditioning
during the summer, and our average use was about 55 kWh/day. Here in
CA, we're down to about 27 kWh/day, and we've never even considered
buying air conditioner. Thank you, Enron and PG&E.
