Canada can be quite cheap too at ~7 Cents in the Hydro provinces. But then they are also looking to tax bitcoin miners.

Sweden has a huge hydropower plant near Boden. Facebook et al build datacenters there. I think this is also the location for KNC.

Iceland is cheap if you get the industrial rate.

Depending how low feed-in tariffs drop it could also be worthwhile to talk to small micro/mini hydropower plants. Or build one yourself if you have the location, from about 50k, I hear.

There was a post about a location in Venezuela with 5 Cents or so, but then you have to worry about heat. Same in Thailand (~8 Cents).

When you do your research you will find there is no "cost per country". It depends on the infrastructure among other things and prices are per the actual location.

You might find this thread interesting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622998.0

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I thought prices in the Europe would be the lowest due to all the renewable energy resources.

Nope and UK England is just as bad than Germany. current prices depending on who you are with are about £0.10 to £0.35 and a standing charge of £0.25 to £0.30 per day. Prices here are getting to be a joke then adding VAT on top of prices hikes to around £0.17 ish per unit for Electricity. While Gas being around £0.03 to £0.05 per unit.

"Renewable" energy like windmill cost more than other sources.

Nuclear is very cheap.

Not in Spain. They pay monthy fixed price to electricity provider (let´s say 15 euro), plus 0.12 euro per kwh.

Thats true, but thats only because the initial cost is high.
the government usually takes care of that, by offering just a little higher than what it costs to them.
I think Sweden has low prices for electricity,

I remember reading somewhere that indonesia have a few tier, and it should be more expensive then $0.1/kwh when the their gets higher (highest is 0.2/kwh I think).

Ahh, I remember the good ol' days where I would mine at school or when my parents weren't home...

"Free" power is the answer, shame that it's never really free.

I'm from the Netherlands, but I don't really know the price of power here. Who does/where can I find that?
