What's it cost elsewhere?
You have to be careful about this. Here's my last electric bill
from Long Island Power Authority, for one month:
DELIVERY AND SYSTEM CHARGES
Basic service: 31 days @ $.3600 $ 11.16
258KWH @ $.0587 22.11
1256KWH @ $.0975 122.46
Subtotal: 155.73
POWER SUPPLY CHARGES
1514KWH @ $ .094136 142.52
EFFICIENCY $ RENEWABLE CHARGE
1514KWH @ $ .006246 9.46
OTHER CHARGES
NY State Assessment 3.75
Revenue-Based PILOTS 6.52
Suffolk Property Tax Adjustment 6.35
Sales Tax @ 2.5% 8.11
Subtotal: 24.73
Total Charges: $ 332.44
Now if you take $332.44 and divide it by 1514 KWH, the
price is now 22 cents per KWH.
I guess that's not bad by German standards, but it's nothing
like the prices shown unloaded, above.
As shown, this is at Suffolk County, Long Island, New York,
for the month of August, 2013.

Yes, you have to be careful here. Besides generation charges, there are
transmission charges, distribution charges, maintenance charges,
non-renewable energy surcharges, renewable energy surcharges, Wednesday
Afternoon Green Fees for the C-suite charges, padding the pockets of
politicians charges, and all kinds of other charges. The actual
generation costs are only a minor part of the total bill.
But here, also, they are outlawing incandescent bulbs, starting with
100W. Next will be 75W, and so on.
One good thing about tablets - they don't use nearly as much energy as
desktops! :)
