$0.31 here in Germany, and they have started using loads more coal because they stopped usuing nuclear and are trying to use renewables, but it isn't working too efficiently yet..

I thought prices in the Europe would be the lowest due to all the renewable energy resources.

Nope and UK England is just as bad than Germany. current prices depending on who you are with are about £0.10 to £0.35 and a standing charge of £0.25 to £0.30 per day. Prices here are getting to be a joke then adding VAT on top of prices hikes to around £0.17 ish per unit for Electricity. While Gas being around £0.03 to £0.05 per unit.

"Renewable" energy like windmill cost more than other sources.

Nuclear is very cheap.

Thats true, but thats only because the initial cost is high.
the government usually takes care of that, by offering just a little higher than what it costs to them.
I think Sweden has low prices for electricity,

Not in Spain. They pay monthy fixed price to electricity provider (let´s say 15 euro), plus 0.12 euro per kwh.

Canada can be quite cheap too at ~7 Cents in the Hydro provinces. But then they are also looking to tax bitcoin miners.

Sweden has a huge hydropower plant near Boden. Facebook et al build datacenters there. I think this is also the location for KNC.

Iceland is cheap if you get the industrial rate.

Depending how low feed-in tariffs drop it could also be worthwhile to talk to small micro/mini hydropower plants. Or build one yourself if you have the location, from about 50k, I hear.

There was a post about a location in Venezuela with 5 Cents or so, but then you have to worry about heat. Same in Thailand (~8 Cents).

When you do your research you will find there is no "cost per country". It depends on the infrastructure among other things and prices are per the actual location.

Electricity in the Philippins is 0.22 USD per KWH if under 1000 KWh per month, if you use over 1000 KWh per month your rate is 0.28 USD per KWh. if you rent a place then the electricity can be up to 0.38 USD per KWh because landlords add 2 to 4 pesos per KWh for the electric. Very high just about non profitable to run miners right now. We turn our farm on for about 6 hours a day only. The electricity combined with the fact Philippines has the worst internet in the world with Shared internet makes mining in the Philippines almost inmpossible. We are looking into solar power right now to eliminate all power costs and brownouts (Blackouts) they have here. The internet is just FUTILE Sad

It is expensive!


That´s hard to believe, but last 20 years (from 1993) electricity, gas, water, salt and gasoline were free in Turkmenistan. I heard last year their governement decided to limitate free consuming.

Is there any reason why they offering free ?
Is the resource still unlimited because nobody can utilize it ?

Turkmenistan is closed and happy country Smiley
It has enough resource to distribute them for free (but not unlimited! there are some limits for every citizen).

So, from 1993 and until May 2014 every car owner could use 120 liters of free gazoline every month. It's not a big problem, the price for 1 liter now is $0.16, before 2008 it was $0.02.

Consuming of electricity is also limited by 35 kw per family member in month. If you need more, you'll pay $3,23 for 1000 kwh. So, the average family of 5 members in Turkmenistan pays for electricity about $12-14... in year Smiley

THats crazy, I guess I need to relocate myself. What do you mean by its closed?

.09$/kWh

Interesting price ,  but what is the name of this nation ? Maybe is it in Asia ?

Actually I live in the USA. We have even cheaper electricity on the east side as low as .02$/kWh. GO WASHINGTON STATE!

A lot of countries that have gas or oil offer free electricity or very cheap gas. The cost of extraction and taking out the impurities can be 15$ or lower for some countries.

I wonder if they are still providing free services.

I think they no longer offer free electricity, as we would have the biggest mining operations going on there instead
