I have a residential property and I am interested in ways to lower my pge bill,right now im being raped by pge and want to figure out if there is a program or some other way to drastically reduce my monthly bill.(besides cfl and led lol)
I have heard of agricultural meters,commercial rates,and medical baseline and even getting first tier electric prices by getting an electric vehicle.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Pretty sure my usage puts me outside of the care program,it was nice while it lasted but now im payin full price for power and need to solve this dilema soon.
What can i do to save money with the power co?

Its called green lantern method, basically in veg you run you lights for 12 hours, off for 5.5, on for a hour, off for 5.5 then back to 12 hours instead of vegging under 24 or 18/6. I have heard a couple peeps say it cuts down on the yield too.

I tried it a few years ago but cant remember if it effected yield that much. I had just started hydro so pretty hard to judge effects of light versus me lol.

It's called the gas light routine (GLR, you can google info on this) and I switched to it a few weeks ago to cut down on energy costs. It takes a few days for the plants to respond to the different light schedule, but once they do veg growth is comparable if not exactly the same as 18/6 and I save 6 hours a day on lights

I think I must have noticed a negative impact if I didnt use it again. I did read that many commercial flower producers use it to keep plants from flowering.

Back in the day, the power co would turn you in. And a large power bill was Exactly enough reason for a search warrant. Main reason allot of people spanked the power. Not sure why now.
This is 2014, and the power co don't give a shit anymore, as long as you don't blow up their transformer(here in cali at least) :-)

long term you could supplement your own electricity with solar panels or whatever.

stealing power is illegal, but we are all breaking the law here so who cares... the real issue with stealing power is getting caught.

Growing a plant that some assholes made illegal isn't comparable to being an asshole that steals.
