I called SDG&E to complain about the new EPEV rates when I got my last bill, and left a message when I got voicemail. No one ever called me back, but today I received a somewhat confusing letter from them that appears to roll back the rates to April 2014 levels by including a "Policy Adjustment" credit on my bill each month until Dec. 31, at which time I will go on the EV-TOU rate automatically, if I do nothing, or I can choose another rate anytime before then.
The confusing part starts with this: "Recently, there was a change to your EPEV-Z rate that may have caused you some concern. You received a letter last October about extending your 'pricing plan' through the end of 2014 which could have been interpreted as keeping your rates 'fixed.' We apologize for any confusion this may have caused." Apparently, "rates" are distinct from "pricing plan" somehow? My "pricing plan" is EPEV-Z but they can change the rates and it isn't a new "pricing plan?" It sure seems to me that the price and the rates are interrelated, and if you change the rates you have a different pricing plan, but what do I know?
And then it says they are "required to apply any future changes to your rate between now and the end of the year, however, this credit will offset these changes." So my rates are going to stay the same, but they're going to give me back the amount representing the difference between the April rates and the new rate as a credit until December? If so, I'm fine with that.
I don't quite get it, but that's what it seems to say to me. I guess I'll find out on my July bill just exactly what is happening. Anybody else get this letter?
