I got a little miner rig set up in my little room. My bill came home and its through the roof. Estimate $520 in power bill.
I got 15 gpus all running some in different location and 2 inline fans. 3070 n 3080.
I gotta pay rent too. In Ca. Bill From pg and e. At least I have money left over to keep in my piggie crypto bank.

You cant mine in California power is very costly.

15 x 3080 if clocked wrong can burn about  4kwatts

15 x 3070 if clocked wrong can burn about 3kwatts.

720 x 4 = 2880 kwatts
720 x 3 = 2160 kwatts.


with really low clocks done well

15 x 3080 = 3.3kwatts
15 x 3070 = 2.1kwatts.

so at the lowes you could be doing 2.1 x 720 = 1510 kwatts in power

at 10 cent it is 151 usd
at 20 cent it is 302 usd
at 30 cent it is 453 usd
at 40 cent is is 604 usd

so my guess is you pay typical cali power rates 30 to 40 cents a kwatt

I am in NJ

in my home I pay 13 cents in the winter and 20 cents in the summer.
