> I plugged in a few counties here and it looks like many areas have delivery rates significantly lower than that: https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/RateComparison

That page says numbers are year old, I entered my zip there and it says delivery is 20c/kwh for me.

If you don't know the story: PG&E is delivery monopolist in CA, with exception of some places with local powerplants. It was found guilty in causing wildfires, lost in court and need to pay $XXB damages, which it now shifts to customers through multiple rate hikes in 2023 and more coming in 2024.

42c/kwh is initial tier cost, whatever is over limit will be charged at 50c/kwh for just delivery.
