    Genuine question, where in Canada are you getting that price and is that including the Demand charge?

    Cheap power in Canada is something I would genuinely be interested in

      Southern BC.

      Not sure what you mean by demand charges. Additional cost for peak hours perhaps? Not really a thing where I live.

      Energy is billed at the lower of the two numbers I gave for the first ~1.4MWh, then the rest is billed at the higher rate. (metered between two months) It doesn’t matter when you use the energy.

      Aside from the energy costs, there’s a ~$0.22/day base charge and 5% gst. That’s it.

      Edit: (see the edit in previous comment)

        Southern BC is very close to the American Pacific Northwest, which is full of hydroelectric dams.

          Yup, but we have quite a few of our own as well. Taking advantage of the Rocky Mountains above and below the border.
