Default Price for electricity?

can you guys tell me what does it cost to "reserve/connect/purchase" 1 kilowatt of power? Also what does it costs in the monthly charges in UK?

I am doing kind of homework comparing different countries with my "soviet russia", where connecting it (ie reserving) costs up to $2500 and 7-10 US cents per month using this kilowatt

I suggest you are getting no resposne due to your poolry worded question!!

Electricity is generated by kW, MW, or GW generators. It is more useful to use the term kWh however. 1 kWh is 1 kW for 1 hr continious. The cost for this is on your electricity bill (20p or something).

ah, i think i undestand now.

In the UK, its costs nothing to connect. to the grid (the house builder usually sorts that out) - it justs costs to use it.

The price of 1 kWh is about 15-20p.

There is probably alos a connection charge of a few pence per day. Im not sure about that, I would need to check my bill.....!

Cheers,

Matt.

hmm, come to think of it it is same here if you are connecting a household, but is this also true if you are a business and require, say 3 mWh? Do they always have the powers you require and if not they don't charge you anything for upgrading or building new "sub-stations"?

20p is roughly 35 US cents, correct?
