    Record for Saudi, or record in general…?

    'Cause I’m currently paying (CAD) between $10.97 and $14.08 (so USD $7.99 - $10.25) per MWh.

      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.

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

      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.
