It's 3-phase, so you have to multiply by the sqrt(3) or ~ 1.73, and at 208v, so we're looking at about 800A * 208 * 1.73 * .8 = 230kvA. So you run for 24 hours, ~5,520 kwh. It's ~2.5 cents approximately per hour. No joke - $0.025 per kwh. Per day, that's about $140 per day in electricity costs, or $4,200.  So roughly, $3000 for rent, let's assume I negotiated it down to $2700, so $2700 + $4200 = $6,900 monthly cost for 165k kwh. $6,900/165k = $0.0418 per kwh, not 6 cents a kwh.
