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 peakoil hits.

where i live you can get it for 0.09 AUD for about 9 hours per day (10pm to 7am) which is an off-peak price.

during the other 15 hours of the day it's 0.22 AUD.


I thought you weren't able to connect anything but hot water systems to Off peak power? That doesn't make sense as EV's should recharge then, but that's what I'd heard.

Sydney Australia

regulated power rates are AUD (close enough to parity with USD)
3 month billing (88-92 days)
$0.4800 per day deliver called an SAC +10% GST
1st 1755kWh per 3 months @ $0.206 per kWh +10% GST
over 1755kWh per 3 months @ $0.291 per kWh +10% GST

Anyone an negotiate a 5% or 10% reduction by going on a contract.

Dodo is offering around $0.23 per kWh +10% GST

prices will rise around 9% on 1 July 2012 and at least that amount every year for the next 3 years.

Plus we now have a new carbon tax - not sure of the price effect on that.

We have the world's largest supply of coal for electricity generation. We export it to China. But we seem to have hugely expensive consumer electricity prices despite using coal locally.

I think a lot of people here dont even know how to read the bill properly

you cant just take the actual electric rate you have to add all the delivery charges, taxes and fees and then you get your actual rate


the actual electricity it self is very cheap, its the delivery charges and other fees are much higher

My rate includes delivery, fees, and taxes (except a $9.95 monthly connection fee which isn't consumption based).

But he is the simple version.

December 2760 kwh
Total bil $256.56

$256.56 / 2760 = $0.092956522


That is one of the cheapest rates I have seen !!! Where is that ? Next to a hydro dam, I presume ?

It isn't that cheap.  The average in the US is $0.105 per kWh thus half of Americans pay less than 10 cents.

We do have a nuclear power plant about 80 miles away so I am sure that contributes to it but 9.2 cents vs national average of 10 cents isn't significantly cheaper.

LOL. I need to move to the US as soon as possible.

Here in Scotland we get ripped off about 0.25 pounds for a kilowatt hour.

No wonder mining is not profitable for me Tongue

It isn't that cheap.  The average in the US is $0.105 per kWh thus half of Americans pay less than 10 cents.

Power company is dominion power (VA).  I know dominion offers a lower rate on consumption over 800 kWh (in winter) so that bring down the average.  We also have a nuclear power plant about 80 miles away so I am sure that contributes to it but 9.2 cents vs national average of 10 cents isn't significantly cheaper.

$0.10 per KWH after all the non-sense taxes.
For this past month, I calculated $0.096 per KWH. That includes EVERYTHING. Customer charge, tax, delivery, etc.

$0.30/kWh, In California Sad almost impossible Sad I am currently working on a solar station to make it mine about 5 hours per day, when the deep cycles batteries have enough charge. Mining on standard electricity from Southern California Edison, does not work for BTC Sad

Anyone thinkin about getting solar panals? lol

Read the thread, idiot.

Also, Kluge:  Is your "O" key broken?  Why are you typing like that?  I don't like it.

I have a sneaking suspici0n many 0f y0u in the US giving sub $.1/kWh prices are giving the price-t0-c0mpare number, which is generally r0ughly half the rate y0u actually pay if y0u take t0tal price divided by kWh. Price-t0-c0mpare is m0re-0r-less what y0u'd pay with0ut an asinine g0vernment "helping" by f0rcing utilities t0 fund silly pr0grams, meet arbitrary regulati0ns, and pay g0v't fees.

fwiw, where I temp0rarily am in s0uthern MI, my actual kWH price c0mes t0 $.118/kWh
