Title: Survey on bitcoiners local energy costs - pleeease reply!
Post by: lmlbs on June 17, 2011, 08:43:19 AM
I go curious about energy in USD per KWatt/hour - based on the amount you ACTUALLY are paying and based on USD exchange rate in your area if you're paying in some other currency.

Mine is $0.10 USD ($10 cents) per KW/hour for residential electricity.

p.s. I SHOULD switch to TOU plan...

Mine is $0.01 USD ($10 cents) per KW/hour for residential electricity.

you mean $0.10 correct?

here our power is going to be TOU pricing as follows:
onpeak $0.107/kwh
midpeak $0.089/kwh
offpeak $0.059/kwh
depending on the day/season the offpeak midpeak and onpeak time ranges vary, weekends/holidays are all 5.9cent/kwh tho

0.074$ in average (Moscow/Russia) on 3-timezone counter.
But I have 50% discount, so it ends up at 0.037$
Guys with electrical ovens(instead of gas ones) have another discount.

PS. Burning 2100 kW/h per month ;D

holy f...
we have 4 computers running 24/7 in our house... plus central air running pretty much constantly because of the heat and our top bill i've ever seen was 900kwh...
so you are using well over double the power we use and paying like 1/3 of what we pay :P
and you probably get tons of perogies to boot!

Are you sure about $0.074  - http://www.bigpowernews.ru/news/document26748.phtml - looks like 2.66 R/KW for electric ovens, no TOU (which I have).

Oh, I see, that is the average, so, assuming flat load (i.e. you constantly consume 5KW for Bitcoining 24/7, it will be - (0.67*8 + 2.66*7 + 2.24*9)/24/28.2 == 0.065 USD/KWh average...
I should get TOU immediately...
