      Sure this was a thing back in the day with incandescent lightbulbs - but like, you can leave a 10W bulb on for like 4 days straight for the price of ~1kWh (~20c USD here in Australia), right?

        0.087 CAD / kWh here, but it doesn't matter. The bill is majority delivery fees/fuck you fees.

          Damn, that’s a pretty good rate! Hydro power - I assume? We also have a daily charge to maintain a collection at ~ $1 AUD/day.. is it similar there?

            I'm in Alberta Canada, so it's recently converted coal plants to natural gas power plants supplied by private deregulated utility companies and resellers. Energy prices have been dropping as a result of the upgrades.

            If you're still curious:

            I just switched to the cheaper market rate, so this bill is my previous 9.25 ¢/kWh.

            Edit: natural gas bill too why not.

            Context matters: Zone 3b climate region, 1200sqft 70's built bi-level with 3 adult humans worth of consumption.

              If you’re still curious:

              I’m a Data Analyst, I’m always curious! 🤣

              You’re getting absolutely railed on your connection charges; that’s like $4.88CAD a day!?

              I recently resigned with our provider so we only have 21 days of usage, we’re in summer, and we have a 5 bed, 3 bath two-storey home with solar panels for 4 adults and a child:

              Factoring in the exchange rate, $1CAD ~= $1.12AUD; just makes the comparison even worse.

              My state’s energy composition locally is ~35% renewables, mostly wind and solar, with the rest being a mix of natural gas, black & brown coal.

              As an aside, our feed-in tariff (i.e. how much we get paid to export excess solar into our grid) has absolutely cratered over the last few years: down from ~15c during COVID to only ~3.3c this year - it really incentivises us to explore solar batteries as an option.
