I did not include any profit, transmission costs, etc in my analysis. Just the cost of power. I'm not sure what the difference is between power cost and power bill.

I use very little AC as I get free cooling from living close to hills where summer fog comes in and I can suck it in at night with fans to cool my house... but even then, my electric bill in CA is about $100 a month on average. If I used more AC or had a family, I could see $150 a month. That may apply to Palo Alto - The San Joaquin Valley from Bakersfield in the South to Redding in the North is a completely different story... 110 and NO fog.. let me repeat NO fog! Than look where the new housing is built - it's NOT Palo Alto - It's the San Joaquin Valley!!
