    That depends on how much electricity is used and when. Here is my rate schedule.

    $8.91 base charge (cost to be connected to electric grid)

    June-September
    $0.070099 per kWh for first 1000 kWh
    $0.072628 per kWH for all over 1000 kWh

    October - May
    $0.070099 per kWh for first 750 kWh
    $0.058099 per kWh for all over 750 kWh

    In the last year we used 7702 kWh's of electricity and paid $949.56 for an average of $0.12 per KWh

    Alabama's energy mix is as follows:
    50.60% Coal
    23.10% Nuclear
    12.10% Natural Gas
    7.60% Hydro
    .01% Solar, Wind, Biomass

    EDIT: I just noticed that Alabama Power has another option for consumers called FDE (Energy Efficient Homes)

    Base rate is $18.91
    June - September is $0.072627 per KWh
    October to May is $0.043127 per KWh

    If I was on this schedule I would have only paid $0.084 per KWh and saved $301 for the year. Time to call the power company.

    my cost is .16 USD (including all the charges) I don't use enough to be in the next tier. PSNH doesn't offer night use rates (at least for residential customers).

    I pay .0943 USD in Ohio per KW without time restrictions with all taxes.

    Generation
    Coal - 94%
    Other - 6%

    We are not one of the clean generation states.

    We pay approximately 0.08 cents per kwh for the first 600 kwhs each month.
    After that it is around 0.09 cents per kwh.

    We are over 70% hydroelectricity.
    The rest the electric grid pie graph is natural gas, wind, coal and nuclear.

    Last year I paid about $75 for the privilege of being connected to the grid (This is not the charge for the power I use, but it is what I pay the utility company). The total usage of my house and my car was about 7000 kWh for the year. I'll have to round my price to 1c per kWh.

    Of course this is because my PV panels are paid for - both literally and figuratively.

    I think this makes my fuel the equivalent of about 5c per gallon.

    Whoo Hoo!

    High Score (US) ...

    18.63¢ / kWh

    About 10 years ago, fella named Ken Lay asked the governor to deregulate according to his "special" plan. It's been an unmitigated disaster for Texans ever since. Houston has it the worse since all the energy companies are here the local municipal government is heavily lobbied to keep the market unregulated. The result is some nasty price manipulation and an unchecked monopoly on the power infrastructure.

    Mostly Hydro, lots of Wind and a tiny bit of thermal (rarely used) and one nuclear power station.

    Just got my Hymotion yesterday. I am on an E-7 Solar Time of Use meter here in California as we have solar on our roof. Assuming I charge at night during off peak hours I pay .09 per kWh (little less in the summer). SO assuming the Hymotion module needs 5.5 kWh to charge, that would be about .50 for each charge (or free if we generate surplus solar over the course of the year).
