What does a kWh cost in your area?

[DCal430]

Here we pay:

$16 flat infrastructure fee
0-1100 kwh 9.998 cents kwh
1100+ is 18.05 cents kwh
Around a 3% surtax tax

Total for everything, was about 15cents Kwh for 339kwh. I live in California. With current currency conversion almost the same as the OP prices.

Anybody who votes for either socialist party is a idiot. All we've gotten out of that deal are no jobs and a higher cost of living.



Last month's bill we paid $82.06 for electricity, $44.18 for delivery (5 cents/kWh), $5.21 Regulatory Fee, $5.88 Debt Retirement Charge, and $17.85 sales tax. Clean Energy Benefit is $15,51, but that's ending next month because we're not poor enough. Total is $139.67.

A fairly light bill since we haven't been running the heat. Next month's will be more with the rate increase and water bill tacked onto it.

Yes, it's not as bad as some places in the US, but rates have increased significantly over the last ten years. It can be really tough for those people who rely on electric heating. A lot of older apartments only have baseboard heaters.

Wow here in California that amount of usage would have been about a $91 bill.

Southern California Edison

Tier 1 (up to ~280kwh): 16c per kWh
Tier 2 (~280-450kWh): 19c per KWh
Tier 3 (450-650kWh): 26c per kWh
Tier 4 (650kWh and up): 32c per kWh

Plus taxes, fees, and a number of other tossed on items.

Legalized theft IMO.


Souther California Edison likes to try and shift the conversation by saying that it is the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that is in control of the rates, but Southern California Edison spends big $$$ lobbying the CPUC to increase rates.

You are all being robbed. We have municipal power here, and pay less than half of what you are.

I used to pay around $0.15/kWh, when taking the total bill, divided by total usage.

I don't think we have tiered pricing.

My current apt has electric heat, so I don't pay a power bill. Nice for DC in the winter, since it just goes directly to heating.

around 11 cents or 17 cents when taking the total electrical portion of the bill divided by actual usage.

i'm really, really thinking of investing in solar.

 

[Wonderful Pork]

Supply + Delivery = $0.255/kWh, yikes! Luckily we don't use much.

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

That doesn't include the extra charges, but I see that you've posted the extras later on in the thread.

Ontario delivery according to my bill is 6 cents/kwh. Plus $3.98 Regulatory, .7 cents/kwh debt retirement, plus 13% tax.

So, last month my average price per kwh was $0.174/kWh, which includes the 10% clean energy benefit.

However, the way you posted it can be a bit misleading, since for the delivery charge, some of it is fixed, and some of it is variable.

I wish they would just give the simple outline of all the variable charges in the base price. Like really, why the frack do they need to separate out the 0.7 cent debt retirement charge? It's just stupid and confusing.

Consequently, I don't actually know the exact incremental charge it costs to charge my car in off-peak hours, but I'm estimating it's about 12 cents per kWh in Toronto, or about 36 cents per charge, plus tax, or a total of 41 cents Canadian. That gets me about 16 km, so about 2.6 cents per km.

With gas it's roughly 4.7 L/100 km, or about CAD$5.21 per 100 km, or 5.2 cents per km, just about exactly twice the cost.

The bigger saving for me though is that for my commute to work, I'm paying for only about half of my electricity. The other portion comes from my workplace, since they offer free charging in the parking lot at work. I don't know what they pay for electricity.

So who here has electricity through a private company and who here gets it through a municipal provider?

 

[aaksheytalwar]

New Delhi, India : Approx 13 cents per kWh

No central cooling/heating here. Usually 1-3 ACs on at a time.


Approx bill during lean months (winters) Approx USD 150/month

Approx bill during peak summer months Approx USD 500-600+ per month

This is for a very small 3 bedroom apartment without central air conditioning and where not all ACs are on together.

And people think India is super cheap, lol!

Those who live in medium size bungalows/mansions (say 500-800 sq yd with 2-3 floors) with central air conditioning can easily expects bills of 3-5k USD per month I'd say.

 

[B-Riz]

0.061759 per KWH

Then roughly double that for the rest of the bill.

Last month was estimated $25.63 for the electricity, $30.97 for admin charges.

But, it is all based on open market, avg. KWH price per month.

You can choose to switch to a fixed rate.

My father worked for FirstEnergy for many years, so I just stick with them.

Really? Did not know there was a fixed component of that. I'll investigate.... Thanks

Based on the OEB site it looks like you have a $17.09 fixed charge and a $0.03756 per KWh charge.
