Eelectrity: How much do you need to pay per kWh

[brendio]

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.

[darkskypoet]

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?

[brendio]

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.

0.23 € = $ 0.33

0.23 € = $ 0.33

Damn Freaking Expensive.

Free

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!

Wont that mean it will just shoot up your average in future however?

Luckily mine is included in my apartment rental so anything I make will be free

I plan to move my rigs into my datacenter before the year is up; then switch back to normal billing.

Ok, mine is approximatly 0.186836881 USD (converting from BRL), plus a shitload of taxes; i'm not sure if my math is right, but seems that with taxes it is around 0.278036681 USD

[GriphZero]

I'm on the us west coast.  Here it is on the high side $0.29385 Kwh.

I wonder if i get any current from the phone wire even though i don't got a line subscription at the moment...


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...

All phone lines have current, they have to. I set up a lamp in a crackhouse/apt in San Fransisco and for about a week I was a god.

What happened after a week?

.03 per Kw/h due to hydroelectric proximity in Eastern Washington

[SlipperySlope]

Here in Austin Texas I subscribe to the local utility's Green Power Program, e.g. wind turbine, and pay $ .085 per KWh.  My mining rigs operate at a total 1200 MH/sec and the shared UPS draws 860 watts.

[Yatta99]

Here in Florida for me it works out to $0.11/kWH once you figure in all the fees, taxes, charges, and any other BS that they think that they can get 

[magicrat80]

Here in Australia paying $0.21c per kw and looking at a price rise at the start of July to $0.23c per kw.

[nemo]

$0.04589 per kilowatt-hour for the first 200 hours times the maximum measured demand.
$0.03593 per kilowatt-hour for the next 150 hours times the maximum measured demand.
$0.02295 per kilowatt-hour for all additional kilowatt-hours.

[twinpeaks]

Here in Germany: 0.21 € (= 0.30 $)

[karoshi]

insane costs over there.
