In rural, southwestern Minnesota, mine is .0699. This seems quite inexpensive to me.

We're on the budget plan with WI Public Service, and our price per kwh from 8am-7pm is $0.20730, from 7pm-8am it's $0.05490. For weekends and holidays, the kwh price is the lower rate.

Ridiculous
I pay 0.20€/KwH which is more than 0.25$/KwH.
Our prices are partially so high because of taxes but mainly because the conservatives made us pay for building and running the nuclear power plants with enormous subsidies for the owners who never were able to run them at a competitive price.

Same here.
the .266 is just the cost of the power. Then we pay a delivery charge, a convenience fee $7.50 per month just to have the electricity on. Then there is a fuel adjustment when they shift from nuclear/coal/gas. Then we have franchise taxes, system maintenance fees yadda-yadda-yadda.
I have actually seen an electric bill (this months) that the cost of electricity was $10.80, but the total bill was $53.36.

We pay .112 in central Florida. Monthly summertime bill runs around $140 or so with the central A/C set to 75 degrees, winter time around $60. Gas bill holds steady at $25 - $30 year round at $1.30 or so per therm for the range, water heater and dryer.
Keven, your rates in Germany really aren't as bad as I thought they might be, considering it's probably more expensive to import fuels, and there are plenty of places in the states that are much more expensive. Do they have seasonal rates there that change during the year?

TVA Rules (when the don't jack up their FCA by 4x)!
From our electric provider:
MTEMC charges 7.726 cents per kilowatt-hour for each kilowatt-hour consumed. A basic monthly customer charge of $9.79 and a TVA Fuel Cost Adjustment (which is updated quarterly) is also factored into a residential bill. The current TVA Fuel Cost Adjustment is .843 cents per kilowat

National Grid charges us .1266 cents per KWH then they add .0266 for the distribution charge. Then add.00233 for the "transition charge. Add .01572 for the "Transmission charge. The add .0024999 for the "Dem side mgmt charge. Oh and lets not for forget the "Renewable Energy Charge. So lets add this up....
we used 647 kwh for Dec 23,2008 thru Jan 26,2009
647x .01266 Basic service fixed=$81.91
Customer charge is $6.21
Dist Charge is .0266x647 =17.21
Transition charge .00233x647=1.51
Transmission charge .01572x647=10.17
Dem side mgmt chg .0024999x647=1.62
Renewable energy charge .0005x647=.32
For a grand total of $118.95
Our bill usually runs about $90 a month and thats not with an Electric range or dryer. Painful yep it is. And we dont have "off peak" rates either.

Andrew,
The energy market here is deregulated and, as always when that happens, it's fubar.
I just happen to live in a city which has half-way decent prices.
We do have different rate structures for electric heating, etc. I pay a bit more because I support Ökostrominitiativen - environmentally friendly power generation.
No seasonal rates but I pay a fixed sum every month and always get a bit back at the end of the year.
I do know people who are rate-tourists, changing providers regularly to save money. Since the law requires your local provider to deliver power without interruption,it is possible to save money if you have the patience to do it.
Gas is a total disaster, completely incomprehensible.

We are currently paying 16 cents per Kwh. Next month we will be able to "renew" it at 11.5 cents per Kwh. This is what you get with electrical deregulation. I do NOT recommend it to anyone!
Local electric cooperative. Last billing for period of 3/24 thru 4/23, aggregate rate of $0.1603/KWH. $112.22.

So ladies, don't you cry to me about energy costs! LOL
Some of the reasons it's so high here:
Demand during peak times in nearby NYC causes very expensive backup and reserve generators to have to be fired-up.
Long Island finally got a cable to trade power with nearby Connecticut going around NYC. Should L.I. Need extra power NYC is not about (to be able) to provide it. Guess we are now paying for that cable as well as a nuclear plant that was never allowed to open. Something aobut an evacuation plan that could not get approved. UHM We are on an island and can't get off unless we go through NYC. And what would happen if everyone wanted to leave simultaneously? Brilliant prior planning on the part of the gum-ment.

We are all electric...and it does get rather expensive, but with a flat roof house with no loft access and built on a concrete slab, staying electric is easier than investing at least $10000 to sort it out....
Our hot water is off peak @ AUD$0.0885 per kWh (US$0.07 ish)
Everything else is AUD$0.1290 kWh (US$0.10 ish)
Our bill normally sits between AUD $160.00 (US$126) and $220.00 (US$173) per month depending on the time of year

I really do hate keymeters....
When we lived in the UK it was the first thing I did when we moved into the rental house was change from a key meter to a normal one...and the same when we bought the flat....
For those of you in the ROTW that don't know what they are, they are an electicity meter that you have to insert a 'charged key' into. You go to a charge point...newsagent, local shop etc, and pay 'x' amount....(5, 10 20 pounds etc) to have the key topped up. You may be able to do this online now, but you couldn't 7yrs ago. You then insert the key into your electric meter and bingo, power flows. You can go into 'debit' by a small amount, but not much, and the meter will keep working when you pull the key out for a short period too...but from my point of view, they are a pain in the butt.
Basically, you pay for the power before you use it and it does help moderate how much you use and can stop you getting massive bills....

*WOW* live and learn. Never heard of that before.
The R-E-A-L-L-Y old timers speak of gas meters in NYC(normally, then, in the kitchen or bathroom) where one would insert a "quarter" (of a dollar, coin) and the gas would flow until the vlaue of the coin was consumed.
They speak of a similar thing, being that the gas flames of the lights would quiver, and they knew the coin was running out.

south Orange County, California
The southernmost towns in OC are served by San Diego Gas & Electric. My consumption always runs below the baseline allowance, so I am charged at the lowest tier. If you exceed baseline usage allowances, your excess KWH are charged at higher Tiers 2 and 3 rates.
Tier 1 rates for the latest bill:
Baseline - 295 kWh @ $.10684 4/ 32 Days 3.94
Baseline - 295 kWh @ $.08013 28/ 32 Days 20.68
(evidently the rate differed for the first four days of the billing period)
There is also a distribution charge
Baseline 295 kWh @ $.01692 4/ 32 Days
Baseline 295 kWh @ $.04363 28/ 32 Days
After taxes and fees, I paid $37.95 for 295 KWH or $0.128 (12.8 cents) per KWH.

ps
Gas water heater, dryer and range. No 240 V appliances.
Because electrical generating capacity is limited and gas supply lines are abundant, some municipalities here ban 240V outlets in laundry areas, forcing residents to use gas dryers (or pay an electrician beaucoup bucks to rewire). When I moved to my house 20 years ago, I remember receiving a memo from SDG&E stating that it cost 25 cents per load to dry with gas vs $1 per load with electricity. Not sure if the math still holds (i.e. 4:1 savings) today, but because of the difficulty finding new places to build new electric plants, the cities would prefer that we use natural gas in lieu of electricity when there is a choice.
