Edison Proposes 30% Rate Increase

Power rates could surge - ROSEMEAD - Southern California Edison, SCE, estimates rates for some residential customers could increase by an average of 30 percent or more next year because of soaring fuel prices and costs to upgrade infrastructure, according to a company executive. I can't figure out where to go on the SCE web site to get more information.

This does help the economics of solar. I would like to know more about what the infrastructure upgrades are. Hopefully some transmission lines like what Texas is doing...

This is hopeful on the conservation side - July 10, 2008Southern California Edison Customers Shine Bright by Installing More Than 1 Million CFLs

Unfortunately some of the CFL's migrated to other states via eBay and other means.
