Known as the Hollywood Hills of Cabo San Lucas, Pedregal is home to some of the largest homes in the Los Cabos area.
There is a myth about the community of Pedregal. The story goes that Pedregal is special and unique that the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) has a special rate for homes in Pedregal.
There two rates in Los Cabos for residential services:
- Tarifa 1C – the regular rate
- Tarifa DAC (Doméstico Alto Consumo) – the rate customers end up on when they consume above the DAC limit of 10,200 kWh over the past year (6 bills) including the latest bill.
Built into the 1C rate is a subsidy from the government for residential consumers. By consuming too much, you get placed on the DAC Rate which has no subsidy. Your rate for electricity has essentially doubled.
That special rate in Pedregal can only be the DAC. Lots of AC and excessive Pool Pump operation are just a couple of reasons you can end up on the DAC.
