I pay USD0.05 for the first 200 kWh, rising to USD0.12 for > 300 kWh in Malaysia.

Texas here - but not the part of Texas on the ERCOT grid. My bill was basically unchanged from the previous month, but my heat is natural gas.
You can drive around all day and rarely ever see a solar panel in FL, seems kind of ironic.

Don't need it. All the high mountain lakes and streams in Florida feed mighty hydro-power dams.

True, but when the alligators clog up the generator intake ducts, our air conditioning takes a hit. 😀
In the old days in Florida we had water tanks painted black on the roof. Solar hot water!

Actually their are quite a few. Most are on ppl's own roofs, privately at whatever investment. There is a large farm I drive past occasionally on the '429', west of Disney, I have no idea who it serves. There would be more if not for the municipal electricity itself being so cheap, my bill rarely exceeds $160 in summer or 'adverse' winter.* For the time being, regional economics tends to dictate that the investment isn't worth it. You're saving against only a small burden, the rest is idealism.
*I'm not asking for this to increase.

I am glad not living in the USA with 100x rates at peak. I pay at home €0.164 a Kw without taxes, it almost doubles because of taxes. Our household uses 5700Kw a year. With normaly cost about €125 a month. But i have 5000Kw solar panels, so i pay about €50 a month for the connection to the grid and taxes.
$0.25 up to 333kWh then $.31 from there.
apparently it is expensive for a utility to kill people and pay off the politicians.

In Quebec we have a 0.06$/kwh for the first 40kwh per day then 0.09$/kwh for the rest. In cad. This is after 4 or 5 consecutives augmentations in the last years. Not long ago it was under 0.04$.

Afterthought, I hear/know for the average residential home the installation cost is about $25k. Most of these installations are financed into new building loans, as such most solar panels are on new construction. The avg Florida resident working for our paltry sums couldn't bother... simply financed, again, by the regional economics.
No he meant Florida. In fact I live on a large river fed by a very large lake about 66 miles upstream. The fall is a whopping 13 feet in that 66 miles, so of course we have hydro to spare. 😛
Looked mine up... $.05495 first 1000kwh. That's cheap AF.
Even at my worst bill ($160), it would take 13 years to break even on a solar installation. (in Florida).

Yeah, super cheap even for Florida. That has to be one of the lowest rates in the state.
I like this time of year, just got the bill, we used 12kWh per day last month. Might be even less this month. Sweet!

If it were only a simple question. Last month we used 596 kWh of electricity and the various charges include"
"Capacity charges per kWh of $0.045 for the first 510 and $0.06484 for the remaining 86;
"Power supply non-capacity charge of $0.04176 for all 596
"Power supply cost recovery of $0.03220 for all 596
"Distribution charge of $0.06611 for all 596
Various charges, factors, surcharges and taxes at $16.17
If you divide the total bill by 596 kWh it works out to $0.186 per kWh.
