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.

I don't pay for electricity because I have my rigs connected to a 4 solar panels
sorry...i couldn't help my self....lol
I was kidding

Between 6c and 7c per KWh, depending on the time of the day.
Currently electricity costs for Russian resident's households without gas, is about $0.04Kwh on arevage, taking into account night discounts.
$0.067 kW/hr up to 1, 350 kW/Hrs. 0.0962 there after. Western Canada.
I live in North GA and pay $0.095/KWh

The only way to get $0.15 for Southern California Edison is to stay in Tier 1 (Tier 2 is $0.19/KWH). To stay in tier 1 you can't have a refrigerator. When my wife lived alone in an apartment in 2006 she was in Tier 2 and she was home only to sleep and shower pretty much (maybe 1 or 2 hours of a compact florescent a day - she's pretty cheap). Spend just 300 KWH and you are already in Tier 4. I wonder how much businesses get nailed by SCE 
300kwh was still in tier 1 where I was. Tier1 went up to 450kwh or so. In the summer I used about 400-450kwh a month on average running AC when I was home and fridge, kept computer off when I was gone. The difference was hot water was provided by the landlord. Electric hot water can drive the bill up a bit. The tiers were different during the winter season, I think that is when it may have been 300kwh per month for tier 1. They've probably raised the rates/restructured the tiers since I was there, I don't remember it being .15/kwh in tier 1.

So.Cal Edison's residential tier system is pretty ridiculous and definitely non-conducive to mining. For business, the tiers work a little differently than residential (based on peak power demand). The first tier goes up to 20kw I believe and is $.17/kwh. I tried to have the garage classified as a 'business' and get the bus rate, but no dice.
.15/kwh in maine. It cost me less with southern california edison when I lived there! The only advantage here is unlike SCE the rape stick doesn't come out once you go above a certain # of kwh. One would think due to the proximity to Quebec's hydro power we'd share in on some of those sweet .05-.06 rates, but unfortunately no such luck.

U$D 0.52/kwh.

nothing. its including the as a monthly fee regardless of usage. after initial investment its pure profit. 
This past month I unfortunately hit Tier 5 with Southern California Edison because I was setting a couple of rigs at home and testing for stability. Tier 5 costs me $0.39/KWH 
Normally I only mine on one main PC at home with a 6950 which puts me into Tier 4 (more than 340KWH) which costs $0.30 (this is with the winter discount pricing). Obviously I'm losing money mining at home, but my main rig would be on anyways pulling 100 watts as a file server part of the time. I don't think anybody can mine in CA without having free electricity

$0.08 / kWhr up to 250
$0.10 / kWhr after

I just looked at my electric bill and my rate is $0.06113468/kwh in upstate NY
Anybody looking for a place to run their rig? We can work out a deal

Wife has an office she's paying $4k a month for rent and utilities. She also put $200K of upgrades into the office - so I'm just trying to get a little more out of it lol. I just hope I don't burn the place down with my open air rigs - some sitting on cardboard boxes
I will have to shut down some rigs in the summer since AC is only on during business hours and it gets up to 105F sometimes here in the summer.
