I got my electric bill in the mail and as promised it's gone up a bit this Christmas season......from 16.376 cents to 23.770 cents per kWh. xmas Ho Ho Ho!!

So I'm curious, if you take your amount due and divide by the number of kWh used what are you paying?

last time I looked it was about 35 cents per kwh, it doesn't really fluctuate much here maybe 1 or 2 cents throughout the year.

Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain
Central Oklahoma - on Oklahoma Gas & Electric - all electric house.
Winter rates - 0.09/KWH for the first 1000 Kw
0.05/KWH for the remainder for the billing period.
Summer rates are variable, time of use. From 0.06/kwh (off-peak)- 0.46/kwh ("critical").

We, as a nation - and particularly in the northeast, are reaping the results of the policy on coal plants. A great many have shut down, and more will shut down. There are no electric production facilities to replace the shut-down plants.

The cost of power "...will necessarily skyrocket".

What I am paying in England
13.37 pence per kWh plus
26.1 pence per day standing charge
And 5% vat on top

This equates to 21 pence per kWh for my usage, or 33 cents in your money.

Don't know for sure, I don't have a bill in front of me but my most recent bill was $300+, well pump, electric water heater, and a heat pump. Just moved into this place so I am doing what I can to get that down.

Coal stoker stove will be here in about a week, $300-$400 in coal will heat my place the rest of the winter, next up after that, new water heater, thinking about going to a propane on demand unit.

Not sure there is anything I can do about the well pump short of installing a wind mill but consider there is a 300+gallon storage tank in the basement I might be able to work something out.

Haven't seen a bill in a long time so not sure on the rate. I have flat rate billing so I pay $270/mo x 10 months. Every year it adjusts, my yearly bill gets divided by 10 then 10% gets added on top. After 10 months I either get a bill for going over or a credit for not using as much as expected. 5 years ago my bill was $160/mo.

8.1 cents/kWh, Canuck bucks, hydroelectric dams.

Our POCO promised that rates will double in the next 20 years to pay for several multi-billion dollar dams we don't need, so that we can export power to our nice American neighbors, so that the export revenue will keep our domestic costs down! You can't make this stuff up. :(

But how can anyone afford to run AC in Hawaii at 35 cents/kWh? :eyecrazy:

Taking my bills (house meter and shop meter) and dividing each by the usage, I get $0.24 per Kwh for the shop (total bill was $23.53 and a usage of 98 Kwh) and $0.1165 for the house (total of 110.85 and a usage of 951 Kwh). The difference being that the fixed charges are the same, so the lower usage of the shop makes the Kwh rate higher. Total cost includes fixed charges, environmental compliance fee, nuclear construction cost recovery, municipal franchise fee and state sales tax. House is total electric, with a heat pump. bills cover from Oct 10 to Nov 8.

NG for heat & HWH so big electric is during summer for A/C (highest bill of $180/mth). Also have electric oven which someday will be remodeled out, and replaced with NG. Amounts below were for light electric useage month of October.

525 Kw for following charges: Energy charge $33.76 ; Fuel charge $13.40 ; Prop Tax Surcharge $.092 ; Transmission Charge $7.37 ; Environmental Charge $2.05 ; Energy Efficiency Charge $0.28 for TOTAL of $57.78
{ This works out to .1101 / Kw }

Above does NOT include $12.00 / mth Customer Charge for privilege of getting a bill each month.
{ This works out to .1329 / Kw with Customer Charge }

Add to above Franchise Tax $3.49 and $0.73 Sales Tax

GRAND Total of $74.00 for 525 Kw = .1410 / Kw "fully loaded" rate ;)
