After reading Rodalco's thread on yearly power consumption, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is paying per kWh for power. Let's keep the thread simple and avoid anything political....just your rate.

I'm currently paying 6.658 cents / kWh in Southern British Columbia.

Rockland County, New York (NW Suburb of NYC)
Delivery Charge
First 250kWH 5.557 cents each
Next 1067 kWH 5.864 cents each
Market Supply charge 10.4210 cents each
then a few cents here and there for cost adjustments and surcharges.

So 1317 kWH cost me $226.80 or an average unit cost of 17.22 cents per kWH

Here in the Mountain State

Southern California Edison - way, WAY too much. My last bill was about 980kwh - my bill? $198.

Western NY, NYSEG customer. Sept/Oct used 6.037 KWH/day actual at .2037¢per. Oct/Nov used 8.909 KWH/day estimated at .1689¢ per.
I live alone and very frugally

FPL has us right at 13 cents a KWH on around 1600 a month. If I can find a bill I will break that down. It is a bunch of line items to get to that number but this is bill/KWH

Alice Springs, NT, Australia:

Domestic metered rate is 15.42 cents per kilowatt hour (including goods & services tax) plus $0.27/day connection fee.

The rate for credit metered properties is slightly higher (about 17 cents per kilowatt hour), not too sure if the connection fee is also payable.

(AU$ 1.00= US$0.76 approx.)

I'd forgotten there had been another rate increase until I received my bill yesterday. New rates:

Day, primary (first 229kW/h) = 33.35 cents
Day, secondary (remainder) = 19.99 cents
Night = 9.03 cents.

Same conversion as before, £1 = $1.90

I've posted links to the actual bill in Rodalco's "Yearly usage" thread.

Day rate CHF 0.193 /kWh (15.5¢)
Night rate CHF 0.1044 /kWh (8¢)

I'm in Chicago and as Ghost said, we pay $0.08275/KWH. My "Customer charge" is $3.39, as opposed to his $2.94. Every month, they list an "Instrument Funding Charge Credit" & "Instrument Funding Charge Debit", which exactly cancel. Why bother??? My rates have only decreased. I first moved to Chicago in '93 when they charged $0.10819/KWH and a "Basic service charge" of $3.80. In 2000, I was paying a $3.58 "Customer charge" and $0.08770/KWH. We had one month of $3.45 and $0.08418/KWH in October 2001 before settling into the constant, cheapest, rate shown above. Paying a reduced and constant price for anything for over 5 years obviously has nothing to do with market forces. Closest thing I can think of is a blanket contract with a vender. How many of those span 5 years?
