In some areas there is tiered pricing based on consumption. In other areas there is peak/off peak pricing. And there is commercial / residential status as well.
So the responses might be more useful if more details about the rate were given.

This past month I unfortunately hit Tier 5 with Southern California Edison because I was setting a couple of rigs at home and testing for stability. Tier 5 costs me $0.39/KWH Normally I only mine on one main PC at home with a 6950 which puts me into Tier 4 (more than 340KWH) which costs $0.30 (this is with the winter discount pricing). Obviously I'm losing money mining at home, but my main rig would be on anyways pulling 100 watts as a file server part of the time. I don't think anybody can mine in CA without having free electricity

Wife has an office she's paying $4k a month for rent and utilities. She also put $200K of upgrades into the office - so I'm just trying to get a little more out of it lol. I just hope I don't burn the place down with my open air rigs - some sitting on cardboard boxes I will have to shut down some rigs in the summer since AC is only on during business hours and it gets up to 105F sometimes here in the summer.

.15/kwh in maine. It cost me less with southern california edison when I lived there! The only advantage here is unlike SCE the rape stick doesn't come out once you go above a certain # of kwh. One would think due to the proximity to Quebec's hydro power we'd share in on some of those sweet .05-.06 rates, but unfortunately no such luck.

The only way to get $0.15 for Southern California Edison is to stay in Tier 1 (Tier 2 is $0.19/KWH). To stay in tier 1 you can't have a refrigerator. When my wife lived alone in an apartment in 2006 she was in Tier 2 and she was home only to sleep and shower pretty much (maybe 1 or 2 hours of a compact florescent a day - she's pretty cheap). Spend just 300 KWH and you're already in Tier 4. I wonder how much businesses get nailed by SCE

I wonder how much businesses get nailed by SCE Shocked So.Cal Edison's residential tier system is pretty ridiculous and definitely non-conducive to mining. For business, the tiers work a little differently than residential (based on peak power demand). The first tier goes up to 20kw I believe and is $.17/kwh. I tried to have the garage classified as a 'business' and get the bus rate, but no dice.

Spend just 300 KWH and you are already in Tier 4. I wonder how much businesses get nailed by SCE 300kwh was still in tier 1 where I was. Tier1 went up to 450kwh or so. In the summer I used about 400-450kwh a month on average running AC when I was home and fridge, kept computer off when I was gone. The difference was hot water was provided by the landlord. Electric hot water can drive the bill up a bit. The tiers were different during the winter season, I think that is when it may have been 300kwh per month for tier 1. They've probably raised the rates/restructured the tiers since I was there, I don't remember it being .15/kwh in tier 1.
