bloody expensive where I live, abt 0.25. But I'm gonna fiddle with some water cooling pipes to produce warm water and in the winter (nothern hemisphere) they'll be put to good use :-)

Also i wonder if i could steal electricity from the phone company with some gizmo hooked to the phone plug leeching the energy while the phone is on the hook...

Im at $.12 per KwH, which is pretty bad with two 2kW PSUs constantly running a full load.

How much do you need to pay per KW/H.
kWh ("kilowatt-hour"), not kW/h ("kilowatt per hour").

You guys have expensive electricity!

My base rate is .065, but because I'm a heavy user, I pay .095.

0,1077 euro per kWh, on the max scale. It's not terrible, but i hear price rises are on the way, which makes me a sad panda. At least my mining rig is pretty energy efficient.

As with the other Texan in this thread, I pay a paltry $0.091 per kw/h (drops to $0.089 if i go above 2,000kwh for the month).

So mining makes sense because it can actually net me a profit!  ;D

$.12 here in the desert, mountain south west. We have to import our power.

Thing is, I'm living in the "Solar Capital of the World". We've got over 300 days of sunshine every year with lots of solar arrays. Wish I had one to mine on though. :-)

0.23 € for renewable energy in Germany (solar and wind energy). Called "Φkostrom" in Germany ;)

I better take this and pay more than have my country to invade iraq, afghanistan and libya, like the americans do :p the more countries you invade, the more suicide bombers you get. this ain't good for anyone in the end.

0.2225 € per kWh in germany. (roughly 0.15 USD)

Could have been much cheaper with nucular power (0.08 € at least), but i opted for green electricity and on top i do pay an additional 0.0125 € per kWh to support development of solar/water/wind power plants even further. Makes it a little bit hard to get profits out of bitcoin, but i'm not going to support a third tschernobyl/fukushima. :)

I dont think German nuclear energy plants are as bad operated and secured as Chernobyl and Germany isn't in an earthquake-sensitive enviroment so the reactors won't harm much.


If I took gray-electricity (not green) it would also cost me around 8-10 eurocents.

Right before I started mining; I called my power company and had them switch me to "budget billing"; which takes your usage over the last year, and divides it out evenly per month. ;)  Boy are they going to be surprised this month! LOL!

0.08/kwh (cdn) It was cheaper in the last province I lived... like 0.06 / kwh... But oh well. It's all Hydro-electric anyway.

If I qualified for the commercial rates in my old province, it would've been like 0.03 / kwh :)

Still easy to make money at mining... around $40 a month to mine at around 1GHash/s  by my calculations.

Post by: brendio on June 14, 2011, 04:02:49 AM
It's around 20 c AUD here. We have solar panels, but get a feed in tariff of 44 c for exporting to the grid, so the opportunity cost of using power during the day is actually higher.


Title: Re: Eelectrity: How much do you need to pay per KW/H
Post by: darkskypoet on June 14, 2011, 04:21:37 AM
Very neat... so every kwh you use costs you the 44c.... hmm.. does your closest neighbor have panels? Run an extension cable and just pay your portion of their (perhaps panel free) electricity bill?

:)



Title: Re: Eelectrity: How much do you need to pay per KW/H
Post by: brendio on June 14, 2011, 04:40:40 AM
Yeah. When's it's sunny that is. The feed in tariff system we have is quite stupid and open to gaming. We could get free power if we used absolutely none during the day, to maximise the export and get paid 44 c, and then run everything at night and pay 20 c. That way, the day-time exporting would help subsidise the nighttime usage.
