I pay .095c, but there are cheaper options available (I believe the lowest is ~.075c), although I suspect they're less reliable (subject to brownouts etc)...
But if I had a large setup using tons of electricity, there'd be those discounts for high use... like over 5000kwh would be 8c with my current provider.

0.11 Maryland , However i am thinking of reducing that with some renewable options
It's 11.1 cents per kWh here, but I don't mine. At 0.5 MH/s on my Pentium 4 I can't even get a share. 
Here in Montana USA price is about 9.958 cents per KWH.
0,18 €/Kwh in Spain. (~0.23 $/Kwh)
I'm selling my 5850's and moving to FPGA's because the power company is "earning" more money than me.

thats smart, I plan to do the same thing when the blocks turn into 25 coin blocks

I have free electricity but if I use too much they might come asking questions 
$0.067/off peak and $0.096/peak in Western Canada.
Wow, you guys are getting cheap electricity, in England I am currently playing £0.17 / KwH during the day and £0.095 / KwH during the night. Thats almost $0.30 / KwH USD during the day :-O.
.10 for the electricity and another .07 in various fees. Upper midwest USA.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, >$0,30
I'm using fpga's now and I like the idea that I make "green" bitcoins

I mine in my college dorm room, so basically free power and internet. The heat is not that bad, I expected worse and is not as bad as when I had a Dell Poweredge running in the room.
Ok so averaging my rate for the past two years of billing comes to $0.114335
I live in Montreal, Quebec.
My price per kWh is somewhere between $ 0.05 and 0.08 CAD, depending on season.

The important thing is to use FPGA, all electricity prices will go up since it's a free market. So it doesn't matter if you live in a country with lots of hydro like me (Sweden has 50% hydro) our corporations will just sell to Germans for a lot of money when peak oil hits.
Well, rest assured we are fine till "peak oil hits" !
FPGA is a long way off being as good in terms of $/mhash compared to GPUs.
your right but it is far more profitable and will be much more soon when blocks get cut to 25 coins per
an FPGA miner can give 380Mhash and only use 20 watt, well thats profit baby
you not get the highest speeds but your not using any electricity hardly at all
10 x FPGA miners is = 1 x 5870
so if you had 10 x FPGA @ 380mhash your getting 3.8 Ghash for the same electrical cost as running a 440Mhash GPU
The size of the block reward changing doesn't make FPGA better or worse. Sure it may cut revenue (but really only price * block size / difficulty matters) but that affects the ROI% of both products equally.
For miners w/ high electrical cost (say >$0.25) FPGA is the only thing that makes sense. In time as the network gets more and more efficient that line will drop lower and lower but the block reward getting cut in half doesn't change the economics at all. The main advantage of FPGA is it levels the playing field as electrical cost is less of a factor in total operating cost. It also creates a very low floor.
(@ 1.25M difficulty, 50 coins per block, $0.10 per kWh)
5970 (on very efficient rig ) ~ 2.6MH/W. electrical cost per coin = $1.15
ztex FPGA ~22 MH/W. electrical cost per coin = $0.14
At current conditions if the price fell below $1.15 I would need to stop mining but w/ a ztex GPU I could mine even if price fell to $0.14.

About 12 cents here in Brazil.
But downtimes are also happening and it isn't always on connection.

6-pack/month - miner is in a friend's dorm room, i pay in beer...
awesome!!!!
