With the latest PG&E rate hike, my off-peak rate is 33c/kwh and the highest peak rate in 66c. I think the national average is 19c? That seems like a pretty drastic difference to me.

The cost relative to other places is a different consideration than the value per dollar relative to our other expenses. OP is speaking to the latter.
