FYI, a monthly bill is essentially useless information. How big is your house? What are you using it for? How efficient is your fridge? Your A/C? How much is the fixed cost part of the bill? Etc.

I'm assuming, since you mention Sacramento and peak hours, these[0] are your rates? Next time, share those so folks in other places can compare. That page has these:

Summer:

* Off-peak: $0.1425 kWh

* Mid-peak: $0.1967 kWh

* Peak: $0.3462 kWh

Non-Summer

* Off-peak: $0.1151 kWh

* Peak: $0.1590 kWh

That's pretty high, but I think middling to low for California. For comparison, in my town outside Chicago, we have a year-round all-day rate of $0.12 kWh.
