We pay more than 2 times that in Pittsburgh PA. But I think the
problem is more of all the charges than the power itself. Since our
power provider is not the same as the company that is in charge of the
lines we pay for power + distribution + transmission + (several other
charges I forgot). Anyways the cost of the power is less than
transmission or distribution at least it was the last time I checked..
