Last year they lowered the top of tier 1 by about 130 kWh. rather than obviously raise tier rates a lot. New rates went into effect this year. I tried to find the new tier rates 7 wasn't too successful. I did find a rate chart for residential with the first two tier rates, but I'm not sure about accruacy. But the first tier rate was listed as 45 cents/kWh, 7 the second tier rate was listed as 57 cents/kWh. I didn't see a rate for the third tier. I know they more than doubled the rate for natural gas, and I'm assumiing they use a lot for gneration, so an increase can be expected. Maybe their wholesale rate for electricity has risen from two to four cents to four to six cents.

Marv, utilities are required by law to provide accurate and complete rate information to the public. Doesn't mean it's easy to find on their site, but one thing utilities really don't want to do is run afoul of the PUC.
Edit: Here's the link to current SDG&E electric & gas rates:

Rate sheets ('tariff' in CA, apparently) are regulatory documents and not really written in consumer-friendly language. I can help decipher some of them if you have a specific question.
