Huh, the Canadian province of ~~Labrador~~ has about those electricity prices. For big customers they go down to almost $0.02/kwh on the nose.
I heard kuwait has power that is $0.01/kwh. And venezuela goes down to $0.0063/kwh (if you use the actual exchange rate). I've got a feeling the latter two countries might be difficult to set up datacenters in, though. Heh.

It is technically Newfoundland and Labrador, rarely do Canadians call Labrador a province they do say Newfoundland though.

I'd hate to correct a Canadian, but I think it is really called Newfoun'land.

La culture, c'est comme la confiture. Moins on en a, plus on l'étale!

The name of province is what I disputed and it is typical that Canadians call the province Newfoundland not just Labrador. As he said he was indicating the difference as people might recognize that is in fact where most of the power is generated and is cheaper than on Nfld. They are both parts of one province not a big deal just odd to hear Labrador mentioned as a province.

Back on his thoughts...

Ya I bet the rates are cheaper in Labrador lots of hydro projects up there.

The Lower Churchill's two installations at Gull Island and Muskrat Falls will have a combined capacity of over 3,074 MW and have the ability to provide 16.7 TWh of electricity per year.
