Depends on where you live in the U.S. On the west coast, you’ll definitely pay 2x the national average. I live in the south-eastern part of the U.S and electricity is quite a bit cheaper at 12 cents/kwh. But even here it varies by region in my state of Georgia. Down the road where I have friends and family , they get power from a different provider. Their cost are much higher. But they also have flexible pricing. Such as at night they pay a fraction of their day time rates. From 17 cents to 3 cents. While I have a fixed rate 24/7. Which is cheaper than their day time rates.
US generally has some of the cheapest electricity, about half of what Europeans pay. California has some areas that are abnormally expensive.
I pay 10 cents per KWH. Most of the electricity in my state is produced by hydropower.
Yep. ~$.33/kWh in Southern California (SoCal Edison) and going up all the time!
$0.51/KwH during peek hours in San Francisco!
