Mac Mini Pays for Itself After 2 Years
I can tell you that in Europe, €0.20-0.25/kWh (about US$ 0.30-0.37, ZAR 2.20-2.80) is typical for residential customers.

Ok, that is fairly expensive. I pay 0.74 ZAR (~0.097 USD) per KWH.
Although, a recent proposal of a 135% increase over the next three years is under discussion.

I'm not sure, but NPower in the UK appears to be 8 pence (about 12 cents). That does seem low!

My figures include taxes and average amortization of any fixed costs. That said, UK energy prices do seem to be lower than in central Europe; I'm not sure why.
