Data centers are consuming more kilowatts than ever, but the price they pay for that electricity has risen only a little.

    @pupbiru @silence7 staring at you from the UK, where the messed up way we calculate electricity charges means mine is currently 25.27p/kWh +£165 annual standing charge.

    That’s 34c USD or 51c AUD.

    Uuuuurgh

      yeah we have a “supply charge” that’s ~$1/day on top of that base rate too, so roughly the same situation :(

      we’ve got this crap because of privatisation so it’s not likely to change any time soon.

      i hope your energy prices come down when energy things stabilise in europe!
