Re: Electricity cost where you live/mine?

I think a lot of people here dont even know how to read the bill properly

you cant just take the actual electric rate you have to add all the delivery charges, taxes and fees and then you get your actual rate

the actual electricity it self is very cheap, its the delivery charges and other fees are much higher

My rate includes delivery, fees, and taxes (except a $9.95 monthly connection fee which isn't consumption based).

But he is the simple version.

December 2760 kwh
Total bil $256.56

$256.56 / 2760 = $0.092956522

That is one of the cheapest rates I have seen !!! Where is that ? Next to a hydro dam, I presume ?

It isn't that cheap. The average in the US is $0.105 per kWh thus half of Americans pay less than 10 cents.

Power company is dominion power (VA). I know dominion offers a lower rate on consumption over 800 kWh (in winter) so that bring down the average. We also have a nuclear power plant about 80 miles away so I am sure that contributes to it but 9.2 cents vs national average of 10 cents isn't significantly cheaper.
