My PGE bill is a little over 50c per kilowatt hour. Its starting to become like a second mortgage or car payment for some. Wondering what other people are paying for their power.

Summer: $0.118 / kwh first 600kwh, $0.136 600+ Winter: $0.132 / kwh first 600kwh, $0.144 600+

I averaged the last 3 years for these.

I haven't kept close track for a year so I think it's gone up again but my shared bill in Oregon typically was around $250 at I think ~14-15c/kwh. A majority of our power comes from the BPA hydro dams on the Columbia so the cost hasn't quite skyrocketed like other areas, but Pacificorp is still trying to raise rates 20% a year.

(We are rural and also use electricity for pumping water from a domestic well, and irrigate a fairly large lawn as a wildfire break, so that is also our water bill.)

PG&E is just criminal.

If you have an area with sufficient sunlight it might be worth looking into a solar system.

With all of the tax breaks and the supply surplus if you have the space it could be very economical to add a four or five kilowatt solar set up and that would dramatically reduce your power bills.

You could even splurge a little and buy a grid tied inverter system That's rated for 10 KW with plans to expand later as more money comes in.

$0.103/kWh plus a daily fee of some small amount. 1,150 sq. ft. apartment with two EVs. $80-100 every two months.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

€0.20 per kWh, about 30 euro per month

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

about 32ct/kWh including all costs (Germany)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

In the summer, $350+ per month. In GBE winter, more like $150 per month.

We have a flat monthly fee of $26.50 and usage is $0.1133/kWh (all prices US dollars). It’s also possible to have a Time of Use plan; for residential there’s still the flat $26.50 fee and then peak usage bills at $0.2345/kWh and off-peak at $0.0623/kWh. If you have a bilateral system (solar panels) the credit for power supplied during peak hours is $0.1539/kWh and off-peak is $0.0373/kWh. Integrated battery systems are not allowed if you go with Time of Use metering. For now the basic residential service (same rate all the time) credits solar production at the same rate as consumption, but that could change in the future.

I have no idea. Electricity, heat and hot water are included in my rent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Peak rate (2PM -7PM) is $0.225/kWh

Off-peak is $0.178/kWh

With my normal usage, it averages about $0.187/kWh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Summer rates are about $0.13/kwh. My EV charger is on off peak plan that costs $0.06/kwh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

.1673 and .1809 peak here in Michigan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Accounting for taxes and grid fees, between 0.05€ & 1.2€/kWh depending on the season.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

€0.30 /kWh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I am in the greater Boston area and just pulled up my most recent bill. Total cost for me (including generation and delivery) came out to $0.33 per kWh. When it comes to the total cost each month, my cost goes down dramatically in the winter when the gas is used for heat instead of the electric for AC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

about 150 per month for the whole family

I am around $450 per month in the summer, $75 in the winter. Texas. My rate is nominally $0.087 per kwh, but the taxes make it roughly twice that. I have a big house, but it is pretty energy efficient - 2015 construction with mostly Energy Star appliances. I charge a Nissan Leaf daily.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (5 children)

This seems backwards. Why more in the summer?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Summer is like 40C. Winter is 13C.

Around $400 a month in winter, $100 a month in summer. Australia has the most expensive power in the world
