Are electricity rates higher for a  in  a residential  area or for a medium size business-- this would be in  southern California?  Southern California edison--- currently paying .30 per kw at home

California usually gives businesses a lower rate. I would expect about .15/kwh for a business rate there.

Wow, those rates are horrible.  I think my electric company on the east coast charges like 10 cent per kwh.

are you talking full charges with distribution or just the energy rate?

I actually got 100% wind sourced electric for 8.7 cents kwh but tack on distribution, etc and it comes out to 14.95 cents kwh

Just rates

30 cents kwh PLUS distribution charges???

wow

.2 per kw in Singapore

Do you get any TOU (Time of Use) tarriffs?  That could really knock down your mining costs.  I don't get that here, but thought that my 18.9c/kwh was ridiculously high.  I was paying about 12 cents just two or three years a go.

Paying €0.17  from 7am - 11pm the rest 11pm - 7am €0.10 (nightsaver) here in Ireland

Come get some .027 up here in Washington State :)   God I love hydro electric power. 

I hate you :(

Minnesota @ 0.09. Washington is the best choice for electric

California is a bit expensive, and its why most try to get a mining contract thats held in states that are "free" electricity.

Can anyone confirm that Southern California Edison just did a stealth rate increase to 0.35c kwh while also lowering baseline allocations?

Or was this actually planned for June 1st 2014?  There's no information about it.

I can't find anything online, but a SCE rep told me this was the case and that SCE was just at the mercy of another entity who pushed the rate through.  A lie, SCE actively lobbies this entity to screw it's customers and were there a increase it was 100% pushed by Edison.

mine is about .06 in New Orleans

6c sounds reasonable.

This shows the rate increase for SCE, but what they've actually put into place is higher than the increases being shown there.

.13 cents per kwh here in s. fla.But,they doubled the "storm charge" & "utility tax" last month  ::)

Gotta get some solar going................. ::)

If it is so great (0.027 per kwh), why no business is trying to supply this to the struggling bitcoin miners. I've seen some indications here and there, but nothing substantial so far. They are either noneexistant or have so many orders that they don't bother to reply to emails and PMs  :(

That would be a godsend.

From my digging cheap (relative) clean power is getting sold to California from producers in other states.  There's some shell games of what happens with the money, but someones or some groups are making out nice.  But given Californians are paying up to 0.35c for what's being produced and delivered elsewhere at 0.027, some entity is making a killing on the spread.  California Utilities have to supply x% of power from clean sources, they buy out of state to achieve this.  States who can supply the clean energy can mark up when selling to Cali and then provide their states own needs with cheaper sources.

i pay .0565 in Ohio thats just for power. Sad part is i pay .045 in other costs making the true cost around .1025 per kwh.  That really makes me upset I know my rate is good for power but i cannot believe distribution should cost the same as generating it or even that close to it.

About 17cent/kwh here, have to undervolt a lot to have a little profit..

You're not mistaken.  This is what happens when you have a idiot for governor (Gray Davis) followed by a pseudo tree hugger (Arnold driving around in a Hummer) followed by a governor nicknamed Moonbeam.  I'm surprised we still have any tech companies left in Silicon Valley because there definitely is no room for anything electric to function in this state.

I'm with SCE too and the rate hike was approved by the CA public utilities commission.... which as you noted is lobbied by SCE. SCE's parent company does power on the East Coast and their rates are 1/4 of what we pay, and SCE provides the majority profit for said company.  Bascially we are subsidizing the parent Edison customers on the East coast because CA is run by a band of thugs.  Nothing you can do except maybe move to Seattle (which I am considering).

I pay 0.15c/khw or if I do not pay on time it goes to 0.21c. I also get 2 free gold class movie vouchers ($80 value) lol.. the movie tickets sold me on swapping to them.
some friends about 30km away pay 0.37c/khw which is craaazzy.

another friend who lives an hour away in a rural area also pays 0.15c/khw which makes no sense at all

.16¢/kWh
In S/E Massachusetts.

almost .09¢ for the actual electric and the rest is for taxes and programs  ::)..

.08c/kWh in Alabama.

.125 kW in Northern Indiana

185c daily charge plus 15.03c/kWh in New Zealand (NZD).

Converted to USD:
157c daily charge plus 12.79c/kWh in New Zealand (USD).
