how much power does your system need?
I wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think at max 200w? It runs a collection of fedi/self service stuff.
I also run a pi with a couple of apps on a pi 3 that sips power.
It's a legitimate issue because it's 50+ cents per killowat hour where I live so power is very expensive...
That seems really high, I think power where I live is about 12-14 cents per kilowatt hour. What makes it so expenses where you live?
0.50 $/kWh is a normal price in Europe now
Mostly just that they can. It's more expensive per tier actually.

Take a look, this is the old pricing. They just voted to up it again.
There's legislation that is moving along to charge people with solar because...idk.
They’re charging for solar because PGE is a greedy fuck.
Yes. There was talk locally for local government to take control of the power but it's just talk..
It gets over 110 where I live in the summer...so air conditioning can make it very expensive.
Wait this is in the US? How, this is even more expensive than Hawaii, and they have obvious reasons for power to be more expensive there
PGE serves Northern California. They keep raising rates like 10-15% each year to cover their losses after all the wildfires a couple years ago and because of the greed.
Take note, folks. Watch this trend spread.
Yep. And they are talking about a couple more price hikes next year. Significant ones.
Damn, I wish ours was that cheap. We're roughly $.30/kwh, mostly because our local poco is a reseller of SCE and we're in a rural area.
Holy shit. I'm paying less than 10c per kwh even in the "high usage" tier.
I wish that was ours...
that's insane, i pay like 5¢ a KWh
Want to switch?
