I know, I was just thrown off by the mix of kW and kWh, all my hydro bills show kWh consumption, not kW monthly usage, that's why I said I would look it up

 

As they should, since that's an amount of energy

It is odd that they would throw the 50 kW cap in there though, especially such a high one

I don't think that electricity usage for average consumer is much of the concern and it's more marketing than anything. Most energy saving features in consumer products comes from business lineup side because there, energy savings are extremely important due to share volume of CPU's/GPU's.

 

While directly it doesn't affect individual consumer by much but if we were to multiply millions of consumers world wide the reduction in overall energy consumption is huge and considering that most of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels it actually adds up to quite significant level world wide.

I think my confusion came from my lack of breakfast this morning, I just came back from lunch and I don't understand why I got confused! lol

 

BTW, that 50kW cap is VERY high for a residential account, you have to have very sketchy stuff happening to have a house pull that much power. That would be using 200amps at 240v or over 400amps at 120v ... I can't see how that would happen in a residence!

Couldn't agree more   Check the series of posts I made after seeing it

lol yeah, I went back a few pages because I missed a few posts.

 

If I take my electrical panel as an example, I could only pull 40kW (4 240v breakers varying from 15A to 30A and 11 120v all at 15A), but that's actually impossible since 2 of my 120v circuits are lighting only, so I would need to have 3600w of lights in the house! lol

about 0.25€ /kwh

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.

No, they are just speaking clearly.  kW/h and kWh are not the same thing.  One is a ratio, the other is not.  It is the difference between saying your car was moving at 60 miles per hour versus saying your car traveled 240 miles in 4 hours.

 

Edit:  Rates here are pretty low compared to you big city dwellers.  We have a flat monthly service fee of about $19, then it's about 7 cents a kWh, with a fuel cost adjustment that adds anywhere from 1 to 2 cents per kWh.

My last electricity bill was 61,28€ for a total of 428kWh, so that makes about 14,44c per kWh.

[Murasaki]

Mine says 0.17BGN (0.09€) daytime, 0.09BGN (0.05€) nighttime

ultracheap, my May bill was 25BGN, which isnt even 15 €

 

[Real_PhillBert]

$0.068 / kWh for the first 2000kWh on a billing cycle, then $0.088 / kWh after that. 

 

Nuclear and Solar are the primary sources, with some coal thrown in as well. 

[plsno]

$0.065 / kWh

[Curufinwe_wins]

It's 1.7 cents per khw here, but I pay a good 35 dollars a month in surcharges (more than the rest of my monthly bill)...
