PG&E true up

[Batt911]

So I received the PTO for my two Powerwalls on April 15th. PG&E then closed my E-6 rate and closed my true up at the same time. I thought you might be interested in the credit I received for surplus generation, as follows...

Total NEM charges before taxes = - $112.15
delivery charge = 73.59
Credit for net surplus generation compensation = -$ 6.43

-179.142 kWh @ .03590/kWh = -$ 6.43

They haven't updated their website yet so I do not know what my new rate will be. As of today no contact from them as to the new rate.

I assuming you'e moving to EV-A or another TOU plan?

At this point, there is a good chance he will be kicked out of E-6. With Powerwalls, he would almost certainly be better off on EV-A than any other choice. I see he's in Manteca, so hopefully he has enough Powerwall storage to cover his household Peak usage, including A/C.

Just received my first true up with Powerwalls a few weeks ago. $7 + $135 in NBC. Better than 90% of car charging done at home.

Woohoo!

PG&E EV-A rate
4.1 kW solar
2 Powerwalls
Model S90D

If I'd needed validation for my decisions getting here I would have it now. Several folks in the neighborhood are showing some interest with this annual cost information and the strong potential for PG&E to cut our power at some point(s) this summer.

I've had 16 outages totaling 11 hours in the last year. None of them were related to fire activity or prevention. Future outages will just compound the value of our Powerwall system.
My solar is marginally larger than yours, but we still pay about $700/year while charging 2 EVs on PG&E EV-A without NBCs because my solar was installed in 2012.

Within the first 5 weeks after installation we racked up a total of 37 backup hours in 5 PG&E planned (fire prevention) and unplanned (PG&E equipment failure) outages. The longest single outage so far has been 17.5 hours. The future is bleak (but a bit brighter with Powerwall).

Wait, I just added 3 Powerwalls and I'm waiting for the PTO. I'm currently on E6, but will I be forced off of that grandfathered rate plan? I'm in the South Bay Area with PG&E.

More than likely you will be moved to an active TOU plan (EV2-A, or one of the other TOU plans).

You should be staying on E-6. i installed 2 powerwalls last spring and stayed on E-6. You are not increasing the solar generation with the powerwalls so you should be able to stay on E-6. PGE did end my true up early and started a new one.
