Power prices vary dramatically in the United States - and are even higher in most of the rest of the world.
Here’s the prices for the United States - https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...
Even these data are noticeably low for my area where we had a _massive_ rate hike in January that results in total prices for electricity (generation + delivery) without an alternative supplier being up around $0.48/kWh.
I'd pay 0,77 euro per kWh if the government hadn't introduced a 0,40 euro per kWh price cap.
Big cities in the US tend to have very expensive power ($0.50/kWh or higher), while rural areas can have nearly free power, particularly if you are near a dam or a nuclear power plant. The price you're quoting is definitely not a big city price.
It's closer to 50c/kWh here in the UK [0]
