Title: Your Electricity Cost per Kwh (Which country is the Most Expensive)
Post by: DobZombie on August 01, 2012, 03:46:45 PM
I'm taking a bit of a poll, and I'm kinda curious who pays how much per kWh and where with who? I'm kinda betting Australia is currently the dearest (or one of).  This information may be useful to anyone that wants to startup a mining Investment company.

Also, no smartarses who get free power (or who steal power from work...)   ;D
I'll add everyone's responses to this first post.

I'll start...

i'm part of an electric commune here in NE texas (near Tyler, Texas, or about 100 miles east-southeast of dallas), so can't switch providers like most ppl in US.

in any case, elec was ~9.9c until I started using >2000kwh, now it's 7.9c

The three you didn't "understand" were provider, which means you have no idea who you pay for your electricity; country, which means you don't know which country California is located in; and current as @, which means you don't know the last time you looked at your bill... I don't get it.  ::)

3 tiers could be On-Peak, Mid-Peak, Off-Peak....



3 different amounts per tier.... eg .10, .07, .05


That's my guess.... I don't pay for power on my mining rigs...

Located in the Netherlands, also pretty expensive here:

During the day: $ 0.2831
During night: $ 0.2563

But last year the electricity meter was broken for 6 months, and they didn't charge me anything.
I suspected they would just take some average... but no :-D

Despite being an oil country, 60% of electricity is hydropower, in the state where I live, there is four big dams totaling near 17000MW of power, all in just one river "Caroní", just google it  ;D . Gas: 2.25 cents a liter. Overall economy  :(

Let me make the numbers again: 0.097VEB/lt. 1USD=4.3VEB. 0.097/4.3=0.0225USD. 2.25cents ;)

Also, I work for the power company and they pay me near $80 monthly as "help" to pay my power bill, there is the dam where I work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macagua_Dam :D

The minimum wage it's like $465 monthly, i'm in the $2000+ range, basic, no counting extra hours and benefits. But that isn't the end of the story, the inflation make that worth nothing.  :P
A good lunch it's about $25, a beer it's like $2.35...
A HD5850 cost like a minimum wage. :'(
My Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 Touring (not Evolution, it's like the 2007 Ralliart US version) cost me near $42000.  :'( :'( :'(
Also we don't have easy access to foreign exchange...

Yes, although $385 is not really that much. We are amongst the most expensive countries in the world. My monthly train commute is more. A pizza + coke in a restaurant is $50. 0.5 liter of beer can costs $16 at some bars.

I don't know if it is like this in other countries. I pay one company for connection to the grid and transport of power. In Norwegian it is called "nettleie", directly translated "grid rent". And I pay another company for the electricity. The latter I can choose freely.

Post by: AndrewBUD on August 04, 2012, 04:30:03 PM
Wow... Seems complicated..... so the $385 per year is for the grid rental. We (Ontario Canada) have charges for delivery of power.... flat rate montly fee...


$16 for a pint of beer seems very expensive... I guess  it depends where you live....

UTAH Or USA, lol

6 cents per KW/H after you hit a certain level it drops to 5 cents 4, etc... the basic monthly fee is 3.50 plus usage..

( I know, I should have started mining a long time ago, didnt realize my city owned its own windmill energy farm/system and we get a heck of a deal since we sell most of our power out of state)

Yup, FPGAs (and even more so the ASICs promised) will make the cost of electricity less of a factor for a period of time.

That's why there has been only relatively small increases in the hashing capacity even though a lot of FPGAs have been shipping -- the GPUs are being decommissioned in high cost (for electricity) areas.  Some GPUs are getting bought by those with low cost of electricity but you can only add so many GPUs before you need to start doing rewiring or bigger fans to remove heat, etc.

there are no tiers on my current plan.  for the last 6mo it's been ~8c/kwh,

this is near Tyler, Tx

Natural gas prices, which dictate the market price of wholesale electricity, remain at record lows.    (well, for this area anyway)

but, there is this other plan, where the first 1500 kwh is 10.9c, next 1000kwh is 9.3c, and all kwh after that is 6.9c

then this "Large Power" plan where the minimum bill is $475, with rate of 5.14c

all the poor wind farms that cant even get their electricity on the grid

I think that's the generation charge only for Tier 3 (I have SCE too).  If you add Delivery/Transmission and taxes you go close to $0.35 per KWh.  It sucks too that Tier 3 is only about 80 KWh because Tier 4 goes over $0.40 and Tier 5 goes past $0.50  >:(

That's why I have to mine offsite from my house  >:(

Ah the liberal socialist utopia of Kalifornia  ::)

Post by: Raralith on August 07, 2012, 02:54:39 PM
The charge is for both generation and distribution. Bill total divided by total KW used was a bit shy of $0.15/KW, but it would obviously go up with more mining since any more power used would be at $0.25/KW.

this is near Tyler, Tx

Natural gas prices, which dictate the market price of wholesale electricity, remain at record lows.    (well, for this area anyway)

but, there is this other plan, where the first 1500 kwh is 10.9c, next 1000kwh is 9.3c, and all kwh after that is 6.9c

then this "Large Power" plan where the minimum bill is $475, with rate of 5.14c

all the poor wind farms that cant even get their electricity on the grid
Wow which provider provided this Large power plan in TX? I wanna check the availability in Houston!

it's a coop...   wouldn't be available in any area where there is competition, I guess?

http://www.tvec.net/member-info/rates.html

note that it says .1048xxx but the last 6 months or so have actually been adjusted -2.5c because of "cheap natural gas"

after looking at 'large power' more, i think you'd have to use some extreme amts of energy to make up for those flat charges.   i was also just assuming the 2 to 2.5c reduction applied to all the other plans too, but maybe not.

there's the $20 meter reading fee, but i'd have to pay that anyway (i.e. not some extra charge from running tons of computers)

Below I have broken down cost for residential vs comercial small buisness rates in Alberta.

Even provided examples of locked in rates vs normal regulated rates.

In this area power is regulated along with the transmission and distribution and even local access fees. It can be almost the cost of the electricity itself.

In my bill I'm only charged 4.5c per kwh but delivery adds up to another 4c per kwh.

It's currently costing me about $90 per month for 2 mining rigs totaling 4000kh/s and a window AC unit. That's $90 just for the room with the rigs in it, total LTC mined per month once cashed out is around $400, so after power I'm pulling about $310 profit per month. I keep track of the rest of the apartments electricity separately.

In Hong Kong, US$0.25 (the worst case) per Kwh for home use

The business is Half of the sum

All accessed on 1 july 2013. If your point is in Kowloon, then the price can be deduced because of nuclear plant while the Hong Kong island is not. The price is close to the price stated.
