I'm pleased to find my power was cheaper than I previously thought.
Rate Schedule: Alabama Power
Summer (June-Sept) Winter (Oct-May)
Base Charge $14.50 Base Charge $14.50
First 1000 kWH $0.077823 First 750 kWH $0.077823
Over 1000 kWH $0.080352 Over 750 kWH $0.065823
I did the math after taxes on my power bill. It ends up being roughly .12 per kWH. The .12 per kWH was based on June through September. Should be cheaper on the next bill which begins October through May.
They penalize me more in the summer if I use MORE than 1000 kWH and actually encourage me to use more in the winter if I use more than 750 kWH.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Shit man my electric bill was $391 last month and that wasnt from miners. All my miners are at my office and my boss pays that bill.

How many mining rigs do you have located at work and what kind of rigs are they?
I will eventually have 23.7 TH/s total; if not more. With 16 S3's and 8 S4's I will be consuming approximately 16,500 watts (16.5 kW) per hour just from the rigs. That does not include the AC, fridge, TV's, etc.
I currently have a couple 3rd gen Avalon's, 6 S3's, 16 S1's so around 8TH. Looking to upgrade or buy more S3's. I'm an IT manager for a CNC manufacturing firm. One day I asked for a raise and my boss couldn't at the time, so I asked him if he would host my miners in exchange for the raise and he agreed. So I have a 12x12 room with ac and 4 30 amp 220v outlets all to my lonesome. I think I got the better deal.
