Description
Have you ever analyzed your SDG&E bill and wondered why delivery charges are so high?
You're not alone.
"My knee jerk was holy cow," said Mara Laws.
Delivery charge
Laws said she was shocked by her most recent SDG&E bill, especially when looking at the cost of delivering electricity compared to generating it.
"The distribution was five times the amount of the actual kilowatt usage," said Laws.
Laws is a community choice aggregation customer, meaning her electricity is bought by a separate entity from SDG&E.
But, it's still delivered to her Escondido home by the utility company via their infrastructure, such as poles and power lines, which appears on your bill as a delivery charge.
Laws questions if her bill is accurate, saying the delivery charge is higher compared to last year.
CBS 8 took her concerns to SDG&E.
