> I pay $0.06 per kWh

That is like, insanely cheap. In Europe I'd expect prices between $0.15 - 0.25 per kWh. $0.06 sounds like you live next to some solar farm or large hydro installation? Is that a total price, with transfer?

So one thing, it's the winter rate, summer rate is higher when people run their AC and the energy company has to use higher cost sources. Second, it's a tiered rate, first x amount of kWh is a higher rate, then once you reach that amount it's a lower rate. But I'm already above the tier cutoff every month no matter what, so marginal winter rate is around $0.06.
