I'm just trying to get an idea as to what an "average" rate is for power. So if you guys can do me a favor and list what state you're in and your power rate, then I can gets some averages and we can better answer questions like "How much will a _________ cost me to run 24/7?"

So just take a look at your power bill next time you get one (or the last one) and post here...

And just to keep it simple... I only really need the state and the rate:


State: WV
Rate: $0.065

So something like the above...


Keep on Folding!!

 
11.13 cents per KwH. Here is the breakdown on my new bill.

250 kWh at $0.0188 per kWh $4.70
370 kWh at $0.06318 per kWh $23.38
Fuel Cost Adjustment at $0.05724 for 620 $35.49

I can't get any cheaper really. I've got an apartment with a bunch of crappy electric appliances that suck power like it's going out of style.
 
$.050 a KWH, in idaho for non summer usage, and .055 for summertime usage, what ever that means ;) that's Idaho Power :D
 
$0.115 per kwh for me. I don't know if it will change in the summer.


edit: I had a factor of 10 error in what I stated.
 
9.47 cents/kwh this month.

The rate schedule is 2.71 cents/kwh basic, and the fuel surcharge takes care of the rest. :rolleyes:

Used to be around 4.22 cents/kwh surcharge. Life was good then... :)
 
I know, his posts are so clear it almost seemed like he was next door.
 
Northern Virginia
Jun-Sep $.0727
Oct-May $.0555
Annual Average $.0630

6 cpus
4 would run about 24/7 anyways - additional 30 watts/cpu folding
2 folding for the cause - each drawing ~120 W at full fold (from Kill-A-Watt)
Thus:
4x30=120W/h
2x120=240W/h
Total ~ 1/3KWh/h
Equals about 8KWh/day
Equals about $0.50/day
Heating season and window cooled - mid October through mid May = 6 months of good
Cooling season - Late May through early October = 6 months of A/C
Potential for helping cure disease - priceless.

/edit - currently all are cracking a total of better than 500ppd, so I'm getting about 10 points per penny.
 
Live in South-Central PA state, with Adams Electric. Works out to be about 9.5c/kwh...

Thats rather cheap, most companies over here all seem to be in the range of 7.5p+ per KWH these days. Had like 20% price rises the last 2 years.

From 11th Jan to 21st April.
Cost :- £209.37
Power used:- 3524 Kwh
Price per Kwh is 5.94p per Kwh.

There is a couple of reasons I get this price.
Because my folding boxen use 6x the power I normally do, they maximize the off peak power use @ 2.712 p per Kwh.
Plus my meter is out and gives me off peak power all afternoon....... ;)
Also because I use a lot of power it minimizes the effect of the first 250 Kwh which cost 14.906 p per Kwh.

Luck......... :D

Sad thing is that I have to limit using computer and F@H b/c aircon has to be switched on all year on account of temps never going below 75 even at night all year round. :rolleyes:
