What does a kWh cost in your area?

[cbrunny]

Just curious. Ontario is going up to ~16 cents plus delivery/taxes, etc. on peak. Half that in off-peak. What's your area's pricing like?

EDIT:

Current rates for us:

Off-Peak: 7.7c
Mid-peak: 11.4c
On-Peak: 14c

Changing soon to:

Off-Peak: 8c
Mid-peak: 12.2c
On-Peak: 16.1c

 

[holden j caufield]

isn't it usually tiered. It's about .20 on the first tier, .30ish 2nd tier and some ripoff off like 60-80 cents on the 3rd tier.

 

[highland145]

Basic facility charge $21.75 + $0.13119 per + 8% sales tax + 3% franchise fee.

 

[edro]

$0.12 after all taxes, riders, distribution, etc.
No idea about on/off peak.
I just took my total bill divided by kWh.

 

[PenguinPower]

$0.08951/kWh + $15.75 monthly service charge.

 

[CPA]

Just signed up for $.059/kwh doesn't include taxes (which are low since I don't live in the city). Thank you Texas electricity deregulation!

Edit: strike that, it's actually $.053/kwh

 

[OutHouse]

12 cents

I'm now surrounded by a couple of hundred windmills...my hydro bill will eventually get cheaper right?

 

[Stopsignhank]

Southern California. Mine starts at $0.15 and goes up from there. Then you an add on additional charges on top of that.

 

[mmntech]

The way they bill electricity here is complicated.
On Peak: 14 cents
Mid Peak: 11.4 cents
Off Peak 07.7 cents

On top of that, you pay:
Delivery Fee
Regulatory Fee
Debt Retirement Charge (tax)

I forget what the specific rates for those are, but they aren't cheap. Sometimes they're more than actual electricity usage.

Oh, and 13% sales tax on top of all that.

 

[BoomerD]

Basic charge...$7.49/mo
PLUS
8.6 cents/first 600 kW
10.4 cents over 600.


CONSIDERABLY lower than the "public utility" where we lived in CA:

Summer (May – September)
Fixed Monthly ......................... $12.50
Electric Usage (per kWh):
First 500 kWh ........... $0.1649
Over 500 kWh ........... $0.1808

Winter (October-April)
Fixed Monthly ......................... $12.50
Electric Usage (per kWh):
First 500 kWh ........... $0.1367
Over 500 kWh ........... $0.1498

 

[clamum]

I averaged out my last two bills (just divided the totals by the number of KWh used each month) and got $0.177.

 

[boomerang]

There are tiers and last months bills never got into the next tier. So, from last months bill...

[preCRT]

Total of delivery & suppliers charges etc divided by kWh = $0.2337/kWh

The joys of living in MA, where expensive utilities force us to try to conserve.

And then when you do, they raise the rate because they aren't making enough $$, right?

 

[jlee]

Base 0.08kWh winter, 0.12kWh summer, with slight variance based on usage (above 2000kWh in summer is 0.133kWh or something). Substantially higher on peak hours (2pm-5pm for me).

 

[preCRT]

At least I live in former NSTAR territory, not horrific National Grid areas where they lose power for days/weeks after big storms.

 

[KlokWyze]

.12 or so. It's tiered. Living in Northern VA and my current provider is Dominion.

 

[Slew Foot]

LOL, welcome to CA, 35 cents per KWH after about 500 kwh/mo. That said, I love my solar panels.

 

[Phoenix86]

Man those figures seem high in general. I think my rate is .072 but I could get that closer to .06 if I shopped around. I see some plans at .05, but I'm sure there's caveats with it.

 

[IGemini]

8.3c/kWh is my locked generation rate, after fees it averages to about 13c/kWh.

 

[kranky]

7.8 cents for electric supply (not including any other costs). No tiered pricing.

 

[Belegost]

$10.40 monthly service fee
$.0755/kWh Tier 1 (up to 750 kWh)
$.0835/kWh Tier 2 (up to ??? kWh)
3.75% sales tax

We've rarely tipped the tier 2 charge, and I can't find a bill in the last 18 months that went over tier 2; the highest we've used is about 890kWh.

 

[pete6032]

6.6 cents plus a basic supply charge, which is about $20/mo.

 

[Jodell88]

1 - 400 kWh at $0.26 TT cents per kWh
401 - 1,000 kWh at $0.32 TT cents per kWh
over 1,000 kWh at $0.37 TT cents per kWh
