    Record for Saudi, or record in general…?

    'Cause I’m currently paying (CAD) between $109.7 and $140.8 (so USD $79.9 - $102.5) per MWh.

    Edit: Damn it, I shifted a decimal in the mental conversion from KWh to MWh. Fixed the values above. (10x)

    That Saudi power is much cheaper than I thought…

      Genuine question, where in Canada are you getting that price and is that including the Demand charge?

      Cheap power in Canada is something I would genuinely be interested in

        Southern BC.

        Not sure what you mean by demand charges. Additional cost for peak hours perhaps? Not really a thing where I live.

        Energy is billed at the lower of the two numbers I gave for the first ~1.4MWh, then the rest is billed at the higher rate. (metered between two months) It doesn’t matter when you use the energy.

        Aside from the energy costs, there’s a ~$0.22/day base charge and 5% gst. That’s it.

        Edit: (see the edit in previous comment)

          Southern BC is very close to the American Pacific Northwest, which is full of hydroelectric dams.

            Yup, but we have quite a few of our own as well. Taking advantage of the Rocky Mountains above and below the border.

      Paying around 300€/MWh in germany …

      But also we have well insulated houses, so its not that bad (i think). I am paying around 100 bucks for electricity and gas for one person.

      Cries in USA, paying $230/mWh. At least solar effectively zeroes out my usage via net metering, in the warmer months.

        I shouldn’t do math late after work…

      These are wholesale prices. Not for consumers. Consumers always pay a lot more (about 10x)

        That doesn’t really solve the problem. But thanks anyway, worth a try, I guess.
