price per kw/h in your local area

[online_olympian]

I keep hearing people talking about power consumption as a prohibitive expense. What are the local rates where you are from? I am at .027, 2 cents per kilowatt hour. So you can see why I am not worried in the least about wattage used.

Your title should read "kWh", not "kw/h", just saying

[gamerking]

kilowatt is one word and hour is another. I think everyone who uses it the other way is just conforming to social norms. i am a non-conformist.

nah they're conforming to international scientific standards.  kw/h literally means (if we ignore that it should be "kW") kilowatts per hour, which would be a rate of change in power consumption; we're talking about a unit of energy here.

if you dont include the 25 surcharges they pile on then its only 15-20ish they charge us for them to try out solar or other fuel thats not oil/gas

A slash means something, it's not just stylistic. kW / h mean kilowatts per hour. That is not the same as kilowatt-hour (kWh). Watts is already energy per second, so watts per hour would be energy per second per second. Which makes no sense.

average residential: 8.83¢ or $0.0883 /kWh

average commercial:  6.76¢ or $0.0676 /kWh

average industrial:  4.29¢ or $0.0429 /kWh

don't you love semantics.

It's not really.  These things have very specific and well defined meanings - what "kW/h" or "kWh" means is not actually up for interpretation or dependent on personal opinion.  It would be like if I told you I had 7 GPUs, and you said no way I bet you only have 1, and I said well I only have single GPU but I write it as "7"

kWh is how much you use in a month(or two depending on billing cycles) kW/h is the rate you're charged for those kWh.

 

It's $0.083 up to 502 kWh here, then $0.124 thereafter.

No that would be $/kWh.  Or if you mean the rate of power consumption, that would be kW (or kWh/h if it helps to think of it like that)

[2FA]

I think mine is around $0.13 per kWh if I remember correctly.

You must be a hoot at parties.

[porina]

The variable part of the rate I'm on is £0.10/kWh or about US$0.16. There is also a fixed charge too.

Looking at my bill, it's apparently $/kW.h

exactly.  Now @online_olympian that is a stylistic thing   Sometimes they will show the dot (or dash or bullet) between units to show multiplication, especially on complex units consisting of many other ones, but it means the same as $/kWh

haha I am glad you didn't take my slight jab as anything more than a joke.  rollin with the punches!

here in egypt each house payment depend on it's consumption of kw/h on the previous month
so mine is on rank 5/7 (higher=pay more) so i'm paying 0.39LE =3.9USD for each kw/h

[Delicieuxz]

In CND:

 

$0.1835 per day

+

$0.0829 per kWh for first 1,350 kWh in an average two month billing period (22.1918 kWh per day), and then $0.1243 per kWh over the 1,350 kWh threshold

+

5% applied to all charges before taxes and levies

 

For the Vancouver, Canada area.

Ouch! Wait, I think the conversion was applied the wrong way. I make that US$0.04 which is a LOT better
