First 800 kWh 2.258¢ per kWh
----------------------------------------Over 800 kWh 1.285¢ per kWh Plus a $7 /month "basic customer charge" because they can. but at the moment I guess I can't complain too much. https://www.dom.com/dominion-virginia-power/c...electric-rates-update.jsp  |

Looks like 0.0479 €/kWh.
----------------------------------------As a comparison to electricity, the cheapest oil for heating is 1.47 €/liter, if assumes 10 kWh/liter this means electricity is much cheaper than other sources of heating, with the exception if you've got "free" firewood.

Looks like 0.0479 â¬/kWh. As a comparison to electricity, the cheapest oil for heating is 1.47 â¬/liter, if assumes 10 kWh/liter this means electricity is much cheaper than other sources of heating, with the exception if you've got "free" firewood. Wow. Just off the cuff conversion makes about US $7.50/gallon for heating oil. That is crazy expensive. We are at about US $ 3.53/gallon for heating oil here. Cheers

Ingleside, I am so jealous... Well, if you've got a car, do you also wants the 1.73 Euro/liter for diesel or 1.84 Euro/liter for unleaded gasoline?  "I make so many mistakes.

By my figuring that makes about US $9.54/(US)gallon. That is also crazy expensive. Unleaded here is US $3.36/gallon. Diesel is higher at about $3.80/gallon. Cheers

Well, I got my drivers license less than a month ago so I don't have a car yet (other than my mom's). Here, a liter of unleaded gasoline goes at €1.59 and €1.70 (two types). But that electricity price is just amazingly low. Electricity here has incrased about 4.1% since the start of the year and it's February...

But that electricity price is just amazingly low. Electricity here has incrased about 4.1% since the start of the year and it's February... Taking a closer look, you're right it's amazingly low, it's actually too low... since apparently I just included the electricity-price and not the cost of being connected to the power-grid. (This is for using a web-page to choose the "best" price and not reading all the small print).  Hmm, let's see, the calculation is: 1: Flat yearly fee to be connected to power-grid: 198.35 euro. 2: Additional cost for power-grid: 0.04147 euro/kWh. 3: Yearly electricity-cost: 56.26 euro. 4: Additional electricity-cost for usage: 0.04645 euro/kWh. If assumes 20000 kWh/year, this means: 0.05139 euro/kWh for being connected and 0.04926 euro/kWh for electricity ==> 0.10 euro/kWh. For #3 and #4, where are both more costly and cheaper solutions, for the moment the cheapest "changes every day" is at 0.039 euro/kWh, this is down from 0.048 euro/kWh on 22.01.2014. Oh well, 0.10 euro/kWh is still on the low side, especially compared to everything else being so expensive around here. "I make so many mistakes.

Here in Alberta Canada we get to shop around,
----------------------------------------I locked in at 7.6 cents/KW about a penny lower than I had been paying. One sad fact is that now all the power I make with the solar panels, is now paying the lower rate. But I made 21 KW yesterday!!!! And its only Feb, with like an 8 hour day!  |
