Second.....ARRRRRGH!!!:no: While Kate was doing things the EASY way, I was slaving over old bills, creating a simplified non-scientific chart to try to better explain, & cussing a LOT!:lol: Then I logged back on to post it, only to see that Kate's beat me to the punch with a lot less effort!:no: But I'm posting it anyway!:lol:

Please note, the following confirms what Kate said!:lol::lol:

Cooler Months
December – April is billed @ lower Basic/Intermediate/Excessive kWh increments & higher rate schedules

Hotter Months
May – October is billed @ higher Basic/Intermediate/Excessive kWh increments & lower rate schedules


10/18/08 - 12/17/08
150 0.659 $ 98.85
200 1.081 $216.20
382 2.297 $877.45
732 kWh $1,311.77


8/19/08 – 10/17/08
350 0.575 $201.25
436 0.676 $294.73
786 kWh $546.02


4/17/08 – 6/18/08
350 0.567 $198.45
395 0.668 $263.86
745 kWh $508.81


12/13/07 – 2/13/08
150 0.639 $ 95.85
200 1.049 $209.80
568 2.227 $1,264.93
918 kWh $1,728.02

As a footnote, I've always felt that I'm VERY conservative in my electricity usage (no lights during the day, light on only in the room I'm in at night, no exterior lights on at night, pool filtration reduced from the 6-hour setting equipment installer programmed to 2 hours, gas water heater & cooking), but some of you guys who are only paying "$25-30" USD equiv. are ticking me off!:( Tonight I'm going from room-to-room & unplugging things I don't use every day!:rolleyes:


Just wondering why usage would go up in the “winter time”.. Is it because of electric heating?

Can understand high kWh in the summer, but one would think the numbers would go down in the cooler part of the year (December through February)

Thanks for all your work, it helps seeing it broken out in this fashion for me..

The other link posted by Kate is also very helpful… thanks again to all, this saves a lot of time and provides real insight to living in "Baja";D;D

The RATE is subsidized in the summer to help offset the cost of air conditioning. In winter, the rates revert to their standard rates. You can see in longlegs chart the second and third tier of rates.
