Title: Miners in Northern California- PG&E territory charge .27/ Kwh $5.18/Day for L3 Post by: OptionsGuy on November 06, 2017, 09:29:19 PM Any miners in Nor Cal? Tier 1 of power rates is 19 cents ( covering base home use). Miners get charged at Tier 2 rates of 27 cents. Daily charges for 800W L3+ is $5.18 :-\ Anyone experience this? Is there a way around it in Nor Cal?

The "way around it" is to MOVE to an area that has lower rates. |
