$1.25 per watt
The average price per kilowatt-hour represents the total bill divided by the kilowatt-hour usage. The total bill is the sum of all items applicable to all consumers appearing on an electricity bill including, but not limited to, variable rates per kWh, fixed costs, taxes, surcharges, and credits. Prices paid by Los Angeles area consumers for utility (piped) gas, commonly referred to as natural gas, were $1.275 per therm, or 36.8 percent more compared to the national average in August 2015 ($0.932 per therm). Monthly Average Retail Price of Electricity-Commercial. The average price per kilowatt-hour represents the total bill divided by the kilowatt-hour usage.

(Prices last updated 09/10/2015.). Boston area households paid an average of $2.592 a gallon for gasoline in August 2015, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Regional Commissioner Deborah A. Brown noted that this was more than 95 cents below the August 2014 price of $3.547 per gallon. One year ago, the local price of gasoline at $3.547 per gallon was similar to the national average of $3.540. (See chart 1.). The 17.9 cents per kWh Boston households paid for electricity in August 2015 was 26.1 percent more than the nationwide average of 14.2 cents per kWh. Assuming an average 2015 residential electricity price in AZ of $.125 per kWh (excluding taxes and fees) yields a yearly savings of $1,006.25 (8,050 x $.125 not counting future inflation). The monthly savings would then be $83.85 ($1,006.25 divided by 12). This was rounded to $84.00 even. At an installed price of $1.25 per watt, the cost of PV solar is always cheaper than coal. At $2 per watt, it is cheaper after year 40. At $3.00 per watt, it is cheaper about year 80. (Data is calculated using a 2003 U.S. Energy Information Administration survey of com-mercial buildings.) Using average commercial energy prices of $0.10 per kWh and $0.98 per hundred cubic feet, the average cost of power per ft 2 for office build-ings is approximately $1.73 for electricity and $0.31 for natural gas. Remember that for every 1,000 kWh that you save by turning equipment off, you save $100 on your utility bill, assuming average electricity costs of $0.10 per kWh.Lights. The US average residential household used 909 kWh per month and the average monthly electricity bill was $125 before taxes and fees. Prices are higher for residential and commercial customers than industrial customers because it costs more to distribute the electricity and step the voltages down. At an installed price of $1.25 per watt, the cost of PV solar is always cheaper than coal. At $2 per watt, it is cheaper after year 40. At $3.00 per watt, it is cheaper about year 80. For electricity, average prices per kilowatt-hour (kWh) are published. For utility (piped) gas, average prices per therm are published. For gasoline, the average price per gallon is published. Average prices for commonly available grades of gasoline are published as well as the average price across all grades. One year ago, the local price of gasoline at $3.547 per gallon was similar to the national average of $3.540. (See chart 1.). The 17.9 cents per kWh Boston households paid for electricity in August 2015 was 26.1 percent more than the nationwide average of 14.2 cents per kWh. The average residential household in the southwest installs a 5 kWh system and during Q1 2015, it cost about $3.40 per DC watt or $17,000 (5000 times $3.40) before incentives. Utilities on the other hand typically install systems in the 100 mega-watt or greater range. At an installed price of $1.25 per watt, the cost of PV solar is always cheaper than coal. At $2 per watt, it is cheaper after year 40. At $3.00 per watt, it is cheaper about year 80. Area natural gas prices were down from one year ago when they averaged $1.084 per therm. In contrast to gasoline and utility (piped) gas prices, the average cost of electricity at 17.9 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) in August was up from 16.9 cents per kWh spent last year. One year ago, the local price of gasoline at $3.547 per gallon was similar to the national average of $3.540. (See chart 1.). The 17.9 cents per kWh Boston households paid for electricity in August 2015 was 26.1 percent more than the nationwide average of 14.2 cents per kWh. The chart at the left shows the average cost of electricity for 2014 by consumer group per the EIA (the US Energy Information Administration). For 2014 the average residential cost was 12.50 cents per kilo-watt hour up 3.1% from 2013. Commercial was 10.75 cents and industrial 7.01 cents. At an installed price of $1.25 per watt, the cost of PV solar is always cheaper than coal. At $2 per watt, it is cheaper after year 40. At $3.00 per watt, it is cheaper about year 80.
