I pay $0.06 per KW/h. Near Oslo, Norway 
A US penny per kWh? Jesus. That's damn near free.
It says on his user page he's from Venezuela, I wonder if he was responsible for the shortages last year?

The problem with having such low rates is that you then have entire week-long periods where you have a shortage and no electricity at all. Since most of it is water-powered, it's not like they can just fire up another coal generator and get more electricity in the system or anything... So yeah, $.01/kWh, with a run time of maybe 16 hours/day on average throughout the year... Still quite a bit cheaper and maybe justifiable, anyone want to sneak a couple pallets of FPGAs into the country and set up a shop?
Oh, and I pay $.05/kWh this winter, it'll go up to $.12kWh this summer, I think average is like $.08/kWh, supposedly. I hope to be primarily FPGA mining by May/June.
The shortage was on mid-2010, as we had a drought, and our main hydroelectric dam(Guri Dam) was reaching minimum water level(crisis was averted by like 10 meters of water, it was a close call), so we had 3 hour planned blackouts every day, for rationing. In 2011 we had several unplanned blackouts due to lack of maintenance of the grid. Even the government said once that an iguana ate some wires in an official statement. I started mining in May 2011, the crisis was solved by then.
Now we don't have long blackouts, most of them are 5-10 minutes power failures like once a month, and I have an UPS with two 62AH batteries for that.
Anyway, if you're interested in getting some FPGA's here, I'm open to all business ventures.

Pic of my little farm is on my website below.
Still building the company up but plan to accept bitcoins in the UK and even got the accountant to give it a greenlight.

Wow, who woulda thought! I generally don't associate jolly ole' England with sunny days.
When I buy it £0.12 but when I make it I get £0.42 .

Also, I pay $0.083/kwh in Maryland, USA

Free power here
$0.067 kW/hr up to 1, 350 kW/Hrs. 0.0962 there after. Western Canada.
Where in Western Canada, Manitoba or BC?
In SK, I'm paying a marginal rate is $0.12/kWh
This is what I pay in Vancouver. Surprised we don't have the cheapest (but then again I am not since our friend the government runs the show).
About 9c per kWh.
Moscow.
Moscow.
About $0.04 per kWh for more than 120 kWh/month. Ukraine. For businesses the rate is higher.
about 0.18$ / kwh somewhere in the Philippines...

I want a fat superconducting grid so I can get some of that cheap power.
Between .04 and .06 per kWh depending on the time of day, plus $13 for every kW used per billing cycle.

Well, my power bill is different. It has several tiers.(although my first 200 kwh are cheaper than 200 kwh more, and if there are more than 400 kwh then the rest is priced higher).
First 200 kwh: 0.096 VEF/kwh. Divide by 8.6 VEF/USD at unofficial rate, and it's 0.011$/kwh. The official rate is 4.3 VEF/USD, but it's restricted by the government.
Second 200 kwh tier(after you consume 200 kwh, this is applied after your 200 kwh and before 400 kwh)
0.108 VEF/kWh --->0.0125 $/kwh
The remaining kwh, after 400 kwh are charged at 0.118 VEF/kwh -----> 0.013$/kwh
So, it's ultra cheap. It's mostly(70%) hydroelectric power.
