Hello to everybody !

I can´t believe it , i have in one month about to pay more than
60,-€ (euros) to pay for electricty.

With taxes i pay here in gemany for 1 kw/h 0,30 € from 6 AM to 10PM
and for 1 kw/h 0,20 € from 10PM to 6 AM.

What pay u ?

or who bets less ? ;)

greetings from germany

$.09 in missouri in the USA.

so i have to pay 5-6 times more here in germany. :(

then my thoughts on this, a donation will be cheaper as crunching for weeks...

hhmmmmm, i thinking on this.

Round 17cent per kwh in vienna,austria always over 100€ per month

---------- 24/7 Crunching since 2011 -----------

Well since euro is worth more than $ its probably only about 3x. Sorry to hear those prices though. That's expensive. Volunteering is all about how much you're willing to give though, and every bit always helps.

Yes unfortune serverrhousing is gone very expensive too. So alternatives are very rare In a flat :/

ok, a flat here in germany isn´t an option, for sure u save money in the first year, but that is it , in the second year u pay normal rates.

I use a three tiered system as it's the cheapest I can get; ~15p ($0.16 or 0.12 Euro) normal, ~30p peak (5-8pm M-F), ~10p cheap (1-7am).
I usually don't crunch during peak rate times, 15h a week, but that's only 9% a week.

In the city where I live in Canada the rate is very simple or somewhat complicated, depending on your choices. Also, we have 3 different companies you can buy electricity from which is supposed to create competition and reduce prices but they collaborate with the government to fix the prices anyway because they're all buddys and their common goal is to bleed the working man until he is nearly dead but allow him to live so he can be bled again tomorrow.

This web page from my electricity and natural supplier explains the price scheme. If you're willing to commit to a 5 year fixed price you can get electricity for $.080 cents per kwh. Our Canadian dollar is roughly equal to the US dollar. Alternatively you can go on a plan that allows your price to fluctuate with market conditions. Note that it costs $7 per month just to subscribe to the fluctuating price plan. Click the link at the bottom of that page to see the history of fluctuating prices beginning January 2011. Some months you would have paid as high as $.1281/kwh which is fairly cheap compared to Germany. We have huge coal, natural gas and oil deposits and there is maybe 2 nuclear reactors for generating electricity in all of Canada, both of which are thousands of kilometers from my city, thank the gods.

Canada is for real very expensive there , unbeliveable prices !

I can't wait until I have the proper house/yard for some solar panels. Would make me feel much better about the crunching and electricity, currently in Missouri,US, we still use coal :(

Well, our electricity prices are much lower than in Germany. Ours range from .06 Euro to .09 Euro per kwh, Germany is .20 to .30 if I read your post correctly. Gasoline (petrol) is .92 Euro per liter or $4.50 per US gallon. Water is .862 Euro per 1000 liters plus .239 Euro per day. Our water bill last month was 16.41 Euro for a family of 3.

To heat our homes we use natural gas (not electricity) which is less than $2 per gigaJoule. Coal is even cheaper so we use that to generate electricity. Coal is a huge source of pollution and we definitely must stop using it. Where I live it's either very sunny or very windy. Solar and wind power should work very well here.

Electricty cost in each country depends on the mix of production. Solar is a very expensive way of generating electricity.

Hy there !

So i got the solution for my energy problems.
I undervolted my two GTX 460 at 875mV and stock frequencies.
So running Nathan FAX4 and PAOLA at the same time my energy consumtion
wend down from 517 watts to 282 watts !!! (without LCD monitor).

I hope it wont stop crunshing.

Why did i that ?

For sure i will never end up within the 24 hour bonus so i decided to
crunsh at normal frequencies an less power, just trying.
Then my electricity bill will be much much lower i think.

actually http://www.sentinel-echo.com/business/x1566851603/Kentucky-Utilities-seeks-11-5-percent-rate-increase guess you cant make sweeping generalizations about a state tho i did read it was low. Still the lowest at $.08

rantanplan, led monitors get better power usage. My energy star 32 inch gets 100 watts where an led gets 50. I just already have it :\

LEDs are the best! I just got a new LED monitor and an LED TV. They use half the power and produce almost 0 heat!! I converted them to run on 12 volts.

I've converted all the lighting in my house to LED lamps I built myself to run on 6 volts and will be converting my computers to run on 12 volts. My refrigerator is 12 volt. My furnace fan and clothes washing machine run off a wind powered hydraulic pump and motor with 12 volt assist. I built the wind generator and tower myself for about $1000 from scrap metal. The pump and motor I rebuilt from discarded items for about $20, mostly bearings and seals and shaft build up/turn down. With a little impeller case resurfacing they run more efficiently than they did when brand new.

I don't have a clothes dryer because they are a huge money waster. I hang the clothes to dry them and they last twice as long that way. Tumbling around in a hot dryer wears them out quickly, just look at all the lint in the lint trap. That used to be your clothing! Who needs clothes dried in 30 minutes?

I have a solar water heater that produces enough hot water for 6 months of the year. For the other 6 months the water heater runs on natural gas. The stove and oven run on natural gas too so no electricity required there.

This summer I am covering my entire roof with solar panels I built myself so I can switch entirely to 12 volts. The 220 volt line coming into my house will be disconnected and I will never pay them another cent. In 2 months I will be selling 12 volt power to my neighbor. In 2 years I will have recovered the cost of the solar panels and the wind generator.

The cost of conventional energy will never decrease, it will only increase. If you don't change your thinking and habits like Rantanplan and I have done you will be bled dry paying for energy. Learn how to reduce your consumption and how to harvest the free energy all around you.

Irkutsk region, Eastern Siberia, village tariff
1 kw/h = 0,504 rubles = 0.01 euro = 0.02 USD.
Quite cool, I think. Lots of hydropower plants. Still some people tamper with their meters, but I would not bother. It is not burdensome to pay such huge money :-)

Can I send you my rig and have you run it for me?

Queensland, Australia. Flat rate 20c/Kw. We are 240v instead of 110v so that makes a tiny difference.

100% renewable energy & supportive of local generators - yay! :o)

From posts here, prices look completely competitive too: £5/month then 16p daytime, 8p nighttime, depending on location.
