@phill can I ask what you pay per KWh over there mines $0.2589 per KWh
It would shock you silly I think... I think with the cap at the moment its about 35p/kWh... Without I think its not far off 70p/kWh... (Apologies 64p/kWh according to the bill - EDIT that's without 5% VAT on top, so its actually nearer to 68p/kW... So around $0.85/kW) - So that's roughly - $0.42 or without cap $0.80....

This is direct from my bill -

But I do need to get in touch with them since I notice the standing charges are different from what the bill says to what the price says I'm charged... I've got another bill due I think through soon, I'll double check then...

Basically, crazy money for gas and electric. Thank god for my solar panels! :) Its the only way I can put on a few machines during the day without being charge £500 a month just for electric. I mean if I was to run my Threadripper crunching and folding, I think that can peak about the 800 to 850w power draw from the wall (its not overclocked!!) that would cost me a day roughly....

800w x 24 = 19,200 w = 19.2kW x 0.64p = £12.28 a day just for that rig.... I'm trying to currently run about 6 or so rigs when the sun is out and good.. I'd hate to think of the total costs lol! :)

Holy crap your 96 quid power bill is $190 nzd that's like 80 bucks more than I pay I'd be tempted to run a gas powered generator to make use of the cheaper gas KWh charges along with the solar

but our power is predominantly produced via hydro and not gas from overseas

It sure does suck to be honest.. I know they are putting up more wind, solar and some nuclear plants about the country but that all takes time and money and it seems from all I hear is that we have no money so to speak and sadly nuclear plants can't be built in 2 months, so yeah, I think it's going to be a little while before we see cheap electric again.. I think its mean to be going up from June this year... I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.... :)

Thread for power and efficiency ...

yeah this is why my fiance left her house rental and moved in with a friend, she works remote so is flexible in that regard.

sadly, that means there is nowhere for me to stay to visit her this year. considering airbnb still as I miss it there and her immensely... but that is pricey and will dig into my savings hard.

Hey TPU folders, I don't usually announce our EHW monthly competitions here, but there's a pretty good prize up for grabs for the July Foldathon later this month. It's random draw (5 WU minimum required for entry). Everyone, including myself, been slacking off folding since the heat wave driving up our AC bills, so we sweetened the prize pool a bit for this one. I'm sure one or two of you will be interested.
