In my area power is supplied by TVA. $36 monthly service charge plus 11 cents/kwh

About .15/kwh... That does not include all the additional fees and surcharges. That is just the rare per kwh.

Our all electric home and shop in central IN costs about $150-$180 per mo every month.
That would be ground-source ? Can't see resistance-heating, @ your latitude/kwh rate.

Assuming other than, Tiny Home, Tiny Shop.....:cool:

I recall TVA supplied power to our plant back in the early 90’s being about 4.5 cents/kwh. We used over a million kWh a month so we got a little discount. A million gallons of water per Day too. It takes a lot of utilities to process chickens.

We don't use resistance heat. The shop has no heat. It only has lighting, and the most power hungry item is a large dust collection system. It's 40x60. The home (1800 sq ft) has a heat pump. The resistance heat only fires when we drop below 5F

If anyone wants deep insight into that ^, read Alex Epstein's book, Fossil Future.
Excellent book. Read it last year. Everyone should read it. Gives a balanced look at energy sources and tradeoffs.

Currently $0.32 per kw😡
Imagine paying $7.68 if you left 1 100 watt bulb on 24 hours!!
Massachusetts has passed into law that new 2024 construction requires a 400 amp service with no propane appliances!!
As usual lawmakers are passing laws without thinking about implications. Where’s this power coming from??

I dont follow that math?

100w bulb running for 24 hours is 2400w/h or 2.4kwh

2.4 x $0.32 dont equal $7.68 So what am I missing here? You have the decimal place a notch off

That's what I was thinking. 77 cents would be more like it.

My "rough estimate" calculation has always been:
at $0.10 per KWH,
one watt used for one year cost $1

100 watts for one year (constantly on) costs $100
At $0.30 per KWH the cost goes to $300
So, 300 divided by 365 is a little less than $1 per day,, (~$0.82?)

We sorta agree!! (y)

"Northern VA"

.11 per kWh
Averaging 3000 kWh a month.

Recent bill:

$ 0.19 CAD / kwh : direct cost, before our VAT applied.

^ doesn't include, a Provincial rebate (for now) that amounted to $0.045 / CAD kwh. So, since I'm going to be paying for that rebate one way/another..... I'm more like $0.235 CAD / kwh.
