I been avg so far 136 for the summer in North East.
i reduced my 24/7 htpc from 110KW down to 60ish KW. I vmware my whs and replaced lots of smaller space hard drives with 2 TB eco drives.
The biggest cost saving was switching from regular electric water heater to the GE hybrid model. It sucks in hot air from surrounding area to heat water. Cool benefit is it provides dehumidifying as well as free AC, which keep the basement area dry and cooler in the summer.
If your running electric water heater research the hybrid heat transfer models.
just to break it down further.
monthly KWH 755 @ .18 (total CT kwh rate) = 136
755 @ .06 (wish that was our rate) = 45
