PG&E says it won't change until next cycle? Because why? It's their fucking system. It's not like they don't have access to change things. It's not in their policy? They'd have to do a little extra work to figure it out?
Fuck PG&E
Question they don't answer: is he going to get a refund, or nah?
Refund? No way, power company doesn't care you don't notice. Likely will be pushed along to court
It’s PG&E, so they said that he’s still on the hook for this months billing cycle. Starting next month though, he’ll be billed correctly, hopefully.
I meant refund for last 15 years. I have a feeling PG&E will find a loophole.
Honestly the probably don't even have to. In my experience, they tell you to fuck off because anyone who actually notices the price of the power bill isn't wealthy enough to sue.
I know what you meant and what they should do, I was just repeating what they actually did so far.
When asked for comment the neighbor responded "Thank you?"
I have an energy monitor and Home Assistant
it's pretty neat, and I can verify that the energy usage is essentially the same on both. Helps to pinpoint electricity drains, as I can tell what breaker is using the juice (the smart plugs are also helpful here).
I went with the Emporia Vue2 which unfortunately requires some tinkering to get it to run local-only, but once I set that up it's been a dream. Too bad they don't offer it out of the box configured for local use...
When we were renovating our apartment, we found one of the neighbors outlet connected to our fusebox. Originally it was a company owned building for employees to rent, so nobody gave a shit about how the utilities were connected.
Who was paying his bill? His neighbor? Article doesn't say.
