Someone else's trash in Escondido is not your treasure
I went to the Pala dump last week, and I believe that I was fleeced. Regarding keeping track of the weight of the loaded truck and then the weight of the unloaded truck, they are very loosey-goosey . The employee writes the beginning weights on his light colored gloves and then supposedly keeps track of which one of the numbers belongs to you when making the final calculation. When I was there he had several weight numbers written on his glove. There is no way that my truck could have transported the weight that he charged me. Be skeptical if you go to Pala, and get your initial loaded weight before and final unloaded weight in writing. They are very careless with your numbers, and like to be paid in cash.— August 19, 2019 4:09 p.m.
SDG&E shocks solar users with rate change
I received the same confusing and deceitful letter from SDGE, a little over a year after beginning net electric metering (NEM) with my photovoltaic array in Feb 2016. I am on a direct rate (DR) with tiers as opposed to time of use (TOU). After receiving the SDGE letter regarding my option to switch to time of use, I did nothing and, as I understand it, unless a new law is passed will continue with this arrangement for 20 years from my original start date. See breakdown below for the basics or go to www.sdge.com/solarplans and type in the PTO date for detailed information. My permission to operate (PTO) date was 2/3/16…and I am NEM 1 below. NEM 1: DR (Tiers)-Customers can stay on DR for 20 years from their PTO date (unless legislation passes that eliminates DR) TOU (called DR-SES)-If you select this plan option before 7/28/17, you are grandfathered into the current time periods for 5 years from your Permission to Operate date. If you select a TOU plan after 7/28/17, then you will remain on current TOU periods until 12/1/17. At that point, you will move to new time period with on-peak being 3 p.m. - 9 p.m. (Pending CPUC’s Final Decision) NEM 2: DR (Tiers)-Customers can stay on DR for 5 years from their PTO date (unless legislation passes that eliminates DR) TOU (called DR-SES)-If you opt to elect a TOU plan before 12/1/2017, then you can remain on the current TOU period for 5 years from your Permission to Operate date.— August 18, 2017 7:44 a.m.
