I put a piece together on CFE rates here:
-http://www.vallartascene.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11839
...
Surcharge rates kick in in PV at 75kwh usage a month, a very low level. We are rated as 1B, and 1A is the least subsidized rates.

By way of comparison, places like Mazatlan and Lake Chapala are deemed hot areas and can use 2.5 times as much electricity and are subsidized by PV users among others.

It is much more complicated than that and their web site is confusing and inaccurate. The English version will not help you at all with understanding their rates.
PVRPV has also posted an explanation on their blog:
CFE Bills Explained
No new news but it does emphasize the fact that they are hard to understand.

My point is, if paying 600 x 12 = 7200 a year in electrical, over a 5 year period with no increase in rates which is unlikely, thats a whopping 45,000 out the door with no return on investment, minimum.

I dont know costs here for solar, but in US it is around 10,000 for each 1000 watt generation capacity. So, to power a 3000 watt AC unit would take a 30K investment

Most home owners in US do not generate 100% on Solar, rather, they go 50% or 75% and this drops their utility rate category to the bottom rung.

Also, the solar kicks in when the AC is on high, so that ability syncs with demand.

Personally I don't have all the numbers figured yet, but I think it is the way out of this mess. I have never been much for conserving energy.

I am wondering why more people are not switching to Solar? Surely the cost of equipment must be less over time than paying the electrical bill? Anyhow, I found one company that installs solar power systems in Puerto Vallarta -http://puertovallartasolar.com If anyone knows of other options, please post.
Have YOU looked into the cost of solar? Conversion to 120v / 240 v to run an airconditioner (which is where a lot of the power goes), is unreasonable. You found the site but did you look at it? A lot of the people that live here full time are on fixed income (granted it may be higher than yours or mine)and if they are living off investments we know where they stand in todays economy. A large out lay of money is just not possible for most and there is the issue of where to put the collectors in your condo/apartement/townhouse.

I am in a new place now and really worried about summer s i now have 5 mini-splits -- the owners have told me it is not that bad but I think they said that just to rent the place. If my CFE bill is as much as my rent I am out of there.

I have heard about "fixing" the meteors but if you get caught they some how figure out the different and make you pay for that...or I guess the owners will have to.

People there did not seem too interested. I was surprised. CFE uses doublespeak to justify their rates. They set rates to recover their costs. But rather than using the term surcharge for heavy users like is the practice NOTB, they imply that DAC rates are somehow their real cost.

Surcharge rates kick in in PV at 75kwh usage a month, a very low level. We are rated as 1B, and 1A is the least subsidized rates.

By way of comparison, places like Mazatlan and Lake Chapala are deemed hot areas and can use 2.5 times as much electricity and are subsidized by PV users among others.
