Electrical rates in your area.

buickanddeere · Nov 8, 2010

Just looked at the current electrical bill. Even though the meter is a "smart meter" and has shown an electrical bill on the utility's site since July. I'm still billed "flat rate"???
Ignoring the "posted" rate of 5.9 cents and just calculating KW/hrs used and the total cost on the invoice.
15.9 cents per KW hr.

Mine has a 8.03% environmental surcharge and the best I can get out of the electrical company is, Oh everybody has to pay that.
We're at $.11 total. I don't know what the advertized rate is.

Just looked at a commercial building I manage in Chehalis- I deducted only the monthly rental on a sodium vapor security light, left all the taxes and the monthly minimum charge in.

Came to 6.7 cents. Lewis County, Washington, Public Utility District.

Smart meter eh? I guess you live in ontario. With the new system in place my bill has gone up by about 25%. It seems that the more you try to conserve the more it goes up. I now really doubt it has anything to do with more users causing a heavier burden on the grid, but more users = more rate hikes. Locally those new rotating solar panels are appearing on area farms, even my sisters. They get paid .84 per kw/h they produce under contract for twenty years. I only get charged .10 kw/h so how does that work out? The math just does not add up and chances are it will only get worse. My area is soon going to covered with those lovely wind turbines that we can't oppose because of the new ontario energy act. Isn't dalton great.......And just to add to it, Carrol Mitchell (minister of agriculture) showed up for our local remembrance day service wearing a poppy with the abundant logo in the center, Nice.

Central Ohio - AEP is supplier

Here in east central Wis last month it was .1035 per KWH. I guess that's in the mix.

I should have the highest rate as I live near Boston. New England and areas adjacent to NYC have the highest rates east of the Mississippi. I have a feeling it is worse in California though.

$57.51 divided by 330 kWh comes to $0.174 per kWh. My lowest consumption period was in June at 192 kWh. My highest was this month and I really can't account for the wide difference. Yeah, I know daylight is a factor but last January was 210. Usage is actual and not estimated.

One would have to think that Ontario would be cheap with the Niagra and Hudson Bay hydro power sources.

Bruce from Can. · Nov 8, 2010

The Pickering and Bruce nuclear generating plants make more power than Hydro elec. And cost more too.

Bruce from Can. · Nov 8, 2010

We have the smart meter on one farm[now operating in the time of use mode] and on our home farm it has been in stalled, but not yet out of the flat rate mode. This time of consumption smart meter thing is a money grab for sure and for certain.

MarkB_MI · Nov 8, 2010

There is a common misconception that since hydroelectric power is cheap to produce, it should be cheap to buy. Actually, hydro power is incredibly valuable, since it can be used for "peaking". The hydro plants on both sides of the Niagara River have pump storage units where they actually pump water uphill during low demand so they can produce more power during peak demand.

Bob · Nov 8, 2010

It's so damn cheap here (especially the off-peak rate) I would be embarrassed to post the numbers!

noncompos · Nov 8, 2010

Portland, OR very close to 9.5 per KWH last time I checked (ignore "stated elec charge" or whatever and divide $$$ by KWH's).
Those filthy socialists north of OR (in WA) opted for (oh God, it's hard to say) public power (gag, retch) back when the dams went in, not like the true-blue red-blooded capitalistic Oregonians who demanded to pay Power Co profits on top of actual elec + delivery costs (see Mike (WA) above)...let's see: true blue, red-blooded, and the power co's are bleeding us white...now, that's AMERICAN!!!

kyhayman · Nov 8, 2010

With taxes and everything its around 13.5 cents per KWH. Im on rural electric coop, and its about a third more than KU if you live in town. KU is a for profit company, pays dividends and all that.

Anonymous-0 · Nov 8, 2010

B&D right across Lake Huron from you on Thumb Electric Coop it is $0.11 / KW. My Geothermal energy is $0.06 / KW.

It varies by county in Washington- the county just to the north of us (Thurston) has Puget Sound Power and Light, a private company, and their rates compare to yours, noncompos.

One interesting feature- our costs are slightly higher because we have to buy at least 10% "green" power. It increases cost because the "greenest" and most renewable energy of all, hydropower, is simply not included in the definition of "green power". Social engineering at its best!

buickanddeere · Nov 9, 2010

(quoted from post at 22:18:10 11/08/10) The Pickering and Bruce nuclear generating plants make more power than Hydro elec. And cost more too.

That is because the "powers that be" decided to eliminate our inhouse construction and service. And replace them outside contractors.
So far the outside contractors have managed to cost over run and delay every project. Double and even triple the original cost with "time and material" scams.
Bruce Power is getting ripped off the same way with U1 & U2 restart.
For the "powers that be" that have off shore bank accounts topped up by the contractors. This is all a good deal.
