kWh prices world-wide

[VolkerP]

Private residents in Germany can chose from utilities with standard grid mix up to 100% renewable energy suppliers.
flat rates 0.19 - 0.22€ / kWh
TOU start at 0.17€ / kWh
renewable only tariffs range 0.22 - 0.25 €/kWh
Residential prices include 6 cent grid fee, 2 cent municipal fee, 2 cent electricity taxes, 3.5 cent to offset feed-in subsidies for renewable energy. All per kWh.
If a utility buys/produces electric energy at 0 ct/kWh it still cannot sell it below 13.5 cent!
I haven't found an EV tariff yet. TOU options are fairly unattractive, too - very little differences to flat rate.

I posted previously that we pay separately for distribution, generation, Transmission etc. in California with PG&E. Attached is a copy of one of my bills showing the separate charges.

Weird you have "Nuclear Decommissioning" on your bill. I have a "Nuclear Development" charge on my bill in Georgia.

Yes, we were told when the Nuclear power plant (Diablo Canyon) was being built that it would provide 'cheap' power to everyone in the central california coast for many years. Now we have the most expensive electricity, and have to pay extra to decomission the nuclear power!

In Southern California (SCE) the super off peak rate (winter or summer) is approx $0.10/kWh. In Taos New Mexico the rate is $0.10/kWh anytime. The rate on Hawaii (Big Island for those that know which island is Hawaii) the rate is about $0.35/kWh.

As for those with solar panels that think you have "paid for" the panels in electric savings in less than 10 years - you must be using the simplistic methodology used by the solar saleman. I factor in an "opportunity cost" and the after-tax effect to the calculation and my expected payback is in excess of 20 years. Then again the system I installed completely eliminates my electric charge on an annual basis for the last 8.5 years.

I just found out that my current rate is .09 dollars/kWh but can be dropped to .03 with a special meter and off peak charging. Wow.

0.03 for a kWh? And what about taxes?

Since 0.03 would be really cheap!

[William13]

This is a special promotion currently. Later people will pay a monthly meter charge. This is the charge, but there are possible surcharges that can be added. Taxes would only add 10%. The surcharges would be the same for any electric use, nothing specific to me.

PG & E recently sent out notices that our Peak Rate in San Luis Obispo is increasing to $.41 per Kwh. Is there anyone in the world with a higher rate??

That is HIGH!

Benji is close btw: kWh prices world-wide

You could even make money I guess. Charge the Model S overnight and deliver back to the grid when the price is at 0.41 (I know, the Model S can't deliver back, but it's purely hypothetical!)
