I think you would need to standardise on a conversion currency, say $

Those prices are VERY outdated.  Anyone have some more recent pricing/stats?

If we are going to compare prices in our countries, we'd better translate them in one currency. Euro or dollars.
BTW, in many countries (like Russia, Ukrain, China) the prices are very different in different cities.

Iceland has electricity at around $0.05 to $0.06 USD/kWh (0.05 Euro/kWh) for industrial consumers.  Basically Iceland has surplus geothermal energy.

See for example the following from 2012.  

http://icestat.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/iceland-eu-electricity-prices-2011/

Domestic rates seem to be around 6 or 7 isk/kWh which is also around $0.05 or $0.06 per kWh.

.09$/kWh

Interesting price ,  but what is the name of this nation ? Maybe is it in Asia ?

I think the best idea but well ... not yet "perfect" is to be independent from the electricity monthly costs.

Idea like this one:



Solar power plant in your own building is the future of low electricity costs.

At the moment devices needed to make it happen are quite expensive and you need many years to ROI investment




Kind regards.

Iceland is the cheapest, if you have the capital to build a geothermal then you can sell any excess electricity. Good investment..

Electricity costs highly varies among different states in India. It also varies provider to provider. Different slabs are there for different industry. So, you can not have any exact figure.
