Really?

My power is some of the cheapest in the country and we pay ~13 cents/kWh. It's a little misleading though since my bill breaks out generation and distribution costs into separate line items. They are both billed per kWH though and add up to 13 cents.

Yes. We have a fixed basic connection charge of $20. So it's really close to your $0.13/kWh when that is taken into account.

I wasn't trying to be misleading though because the point is the basic charge does not increase with usage. So for each additional kWh we add to that it's only $0.089/kWh.

No, that's fair. I have an additional basic charge too. Congrats on the cheap power.
