I'm paying 7.424p/kwh ($0.115) from EDF energy. There is a huge variation in tariff prices, even from the same supplier. You have to keep checking regularly to get the best deal.Quote:

This talk of replacing bulbs to save energy is ridiculous. The LEDs on the motherboards from all of your computers should be enough light:p:
My dad was complaining that I was using ~1300kWh one time. I don't use lights or the stove much, and I have no idea how much the water heater uses. I can only account for ~950kwh for all of the computers and related stuff.
:shrug:
I upgraded my main electrical circuit in my house last year from 60A to 200A. Well, you get a bigger meter from the electric company with this upgrade. Of course, the old meter had a low number, and the new meter had a MUCH larger number. When I got my electric bill the following month, instead of figuring out how much I really used, they took the value of the new meter and subtracted the old meter. So my electric bill was a "modest" $7,500 for using something like 77000 KwH. Then, because I was "late" because the computer billed it to me as part of the previous month, they tacked on a 1% fee, which was cheap! I have that bill framed. I did the math and even if I had used my max 200A current for the entire time that I was billed, I couldn't have used enough electricity to end up with a bill of that size. Lucky for me the electric company was able to fix the issue easily after just 3 phone calls and a threat to turn off my power unless I paid my bill current.
I've reposted my spreadsheet. It appears that I had an oopsy in the chart. If you changed the cost per KwH on the upgrade sheet it wouldn't be reflected in the prices. I tried to fix the old zip file, but the link keeps dishing out corrupt zip files. So here's the new zip with everything fixed.
