Sorry. The format changed when cutting and pasting which made it difficult to read.

(All but wind and solar may be subject to different peak and off-peak prices).

For comparison, natural gas plants are currently paid between 8.5-11¢/kWh; nuclear plants between 6-7¢/kWh; and hydro plants between 5.7-6.2¢/kWh.

I am guilty of taking cheap power prices for granted... I think my current(pun) rate is less than 7 cents/kwh. I live in a small, but energy-efficient shack. I mailed out my powerbill today, it was $60.52 USD..

I'm paying 9 to 9.25 cents per Kwhr all totaled to the utility depending on the volume.
The "feed-in tariff" prices are what the utility has to pay power producers per KWhr.
