Texas 5.5cents with Pennywise in Houston
Is there any member with rate 0.02$ / kWh and could host my miners? 
I read it and I feel humiliated, because I'm paying 0.23$ / kWh

Houston is having 5.5 cents kilowatt
I am considering investing in BTC and going commercial and getting warehouse space and 2 or 3 SP-50's when they are released, if ever. If I can get the spondoolies, why couldn't i just put them in my garage ? i already have a 400 amp service installed and working in the garage, which is separate from the house. Imagine 300+ Th with 3 network and power connections? The specs are 16,000 watts for a Sp50
16000 watts * 3 SP50's = 48000 watts / 240 volts = 200amps
whats wrong with this idea?

Getting the Spondoolies. They don't appear to be interested in selling to anyone but major farms.
Give it 2-3 months and see what Lketc/BW.com and Innosilicon come up with.
Anywhere I can get deals for TEXAS?
There are a number of electric company suppliers out there that offer rates between .03 and .05 from my most recent research. You have to sign up into a contract with these companies, but when you do they take care of you from what I have read. There is the issue that after your contract term is up, they want to increase your rate, like they did with me. So you sould make sure you have room to wiggle when it comes to calculating electric costs in your project, because you never know what the future will bring.
IF you have electric rates at $0.04/Kwh or LESS in North America, would you please post your rate and location?
Thanks!

Thanks for responses. I am going delete off topic posts to keep this useful. And yes, industrial/commercial rates, NO residential. Required demand & electric provider would be useful too.

Hello,
US hosting service(s) is very expensive
"Green energy" pfft, yea right... Non green energy is much cheaper. 
Wow, those Spondoolies SP50 and these low rates would be awesome!

Note the lack of any different rates for residential and commercial, it's all "general rate"

Both residential and commercial under 3c/kwh, though not QUITE as low as Douglass county it's very close.

Yup, I live in Wenatchee, Chelan County have been mining for years at my house with my power I pay 0.027 Cents. But just my 2 Cents 
http://www.chelanpud.org/ and also http://www.douglaspud.org/
They might have some info on commercial power.

I'm pretty sure residential rates in Chelan and Douglass counties of Washington are the same as the commercial rate for small businesses - under 3c/KWH.
As I recall they don't even HAVE seperate rates 'till you get to the 500,000 MWH/Month level or some such BIG industrial rate.
Grant county is close, under 5 but not quite 4.
Commercial rate applies to ANY "business" location - shop, warehouse, industrial, pretty much anything that is NOT a residence, in areas that the difference matters.

Washington State. Been hosting miners for 3 years and it is great. Still requires a lot of initial investment to take advantage of that rate, but it is real.
How does one qualify for the commercial rate?
You need commercial property like a warehouse or a shop in a industrial area, so you will be paying for rent or a lease for the building. Over in Oregon on the co-op you can get commercial as low as 4 cent a kw/h but it falls into brackets on commercial electric. Basically the more power you use the cheaper it gets and then theres extra charges for high demand and over 50kw you get charged $7 a kw a month per kw over the limit thats the high demand price that you pull at anytime for at least 15 mins.

Wisconsin here I am currently paying .13$ kw/h. Because of this high cost, like many others, I had to turn of my miners 
Yeah it's pretty disgusting that just 1000 miles away I'm paying 9x as much for my power thanks to Edison hiking up the rates again for the next 3 years. Sad that it costs more for electricity in metropolitan Los Angeles than it does on a secluded island like Hawaii.
Too many people, too much demand, it forces California to buy power from surrounding states and they likely think their is too many people in LA, so they don't feel like they should give California a discount on the rates. It really taxes a lot of resource from that region.
Is power there so cheap because of hydro-power sources ?
This is an insanely low price for electricity...

Yes, that is why it is so cheap. The dams are publicly-owned so they can pass a great rate to their residents. It is really an ideal community model that provides a lot of opportunity if you know what is possible.

Anyone else? AFAIK taxes and fees are No more than $0.002-3 / khw. I think SouthEast Lousiana has close to $0.045/kwh.

That Georgia Power is interesting considering that is Residential. How close are you to Hartsfield?
AEP in Ohio is over $0.06/kw commercial/industrial unless you use 6MW or more and then it is not much less than 0.06.
I have been told WA is $0.02/kwh but can not find tarrif online.

It is not a residential rate. My home is rated as a business because of my power draw. The first 1000 or so HWh is 0.08, then it goes to 0.02 to 0.03 per kwh (it fluctuates). Georgia Power rates me as a medium sized business - Power and Light Medium size commercial. I am 15 mins from Hartsfield in midtown Atlanta
