Ye I know how it feels to

Ye I know how it feels to pay so much for an electricity bill even if we consume half of what we are paying. I'm sure of that. I would rather spend my money on medical prescriptions because I have something good to gain from that. It's my healthy in stake.

All I remember is that every

All I remember is that every month I have to pay almost twice as the other countries are paying for their electricity bills. I don't actually know if there is anything we can do to change this fact, cause nobody seems to care about our problems. That's why we end up taking prescription drugs and any other kind of pills exactly like this.

New construction cost

I live in Northern CA and just got a mobile home, where I live it is going to be $3,900.00!!! to start electricity. They don't offer any payment plans or arrangements, it must all be paid up front. I am a single mom of a 2 and 6 year old. Do you know of any resources that could assist me???

Thanks for providing all the

Thanks for providing all the information, I need that to stop being scared of my electricity bill. Which program would you recommend for a house filled with all the necessary appliances? I also have a cooling and heating system, it's almost impossible to save electricity while using these system in summer and winter... I hope my Kansas City electrician will give me an optimum solution to this.

I'm Out of Ideas

I'm a mother of two, and I my elderly mother lives with me, but only helping with the rent, and my electric bill is so I high I can't afford the rent and the electric at the same time! LIHEAP and HEAP has denied me, and I'm Trying to figure out who else can help me does anyone know of any wany else to help me get out of this tough jam

Won't give me power!

My boyfriend went to get power in his name cause the lease is in his name. Well the power company would not give him power until he payed an old bill that was on my account that my ex-husband made. I don't understand how they can do this when we are not married and I'm not on the lease. Can anyone give me any advice as to what we could do?

If you and him are staying

If you and him are staying at the same address where the bill was made and they know you stay there they can request that the bill is paid before service will be activated. If he is trying to activate service in just his name and has a lease that shows he moved in after the old bill, they can not make him pay.

electric bill terms

How much is this cost? The indication or explanation - "Independent System Operator is required to ensure adequate generation to maintain electric system reliability. This means having enough generating facilities available to meet the demand for electricity at all times. The costs associated with this are passed on to SDG&E customers" This would sound as simple as an internal inflation, building back-up costs and such, but providing a broad competition transition charge can be submitted under false characterization...how much?

My confusing electric bill?

I read through the electric bill explanation on this site, but I don't see a definition for a charge called "Reliability Services", which appears on my bill below the Competition Transition Charge. I read the back of my bill for an explanation, which states "The Independent System Operator is required to ensure adequate generation to maintain electric system reliability. This means having enough generating facilities available to meet the demand for electricity at all times. The costs associated with this are passed on to SDG&E customers."

Can someone please explain this? Is SDG&E the "Independent System Operator"? My first reaction is "Duh!" if I'm a customer I would expect the utility company to have enough generating facilities to meet demand at all times - and am I not paying for that already via the 1) electric charge, 2) transmission charge, 3) distribution charge? Why is there a separate charge to ensure I get "reliable" service? It's like asking for a (mandatory) tip for something you should already be doing as part of your job!

SHOW ME THE MONEY

Accounts that have 3 returned checks within 12 months are restricted to cash or money order payments for 2 years. I agree that online payments seem to benefit both parties. But reason doesn't work for SDG&E.

cash or money order only rules from SDGE

My wife usually pays the bills and evidently not very well. Now SDGE has put our account on cash/money order only rule and I can't even bring our account up to date paying through my bank's online pay service. I tried to explain to SDGE customer service that my bank would not pay them if I had insufficient funds but they won't listen. Writing a check is one thing, having your own bank pay the service is another. I believe they are really inflexible on this and I understand my account is on this cash only for 2 years.
