Does $.14KWH mean that x 100KW ...

[ChipLeakas]

As an inventor I have tried posting and asking this question in numerous alternative energy forums and directly to ISO-NE and National Grid.

For any business plan today it's imperative to show COST and REVENUE projections... (assumptions)

(Forgetting tariffs and what is possible with known or existing wind, solar, hydro etc.)

I am back to the question of what $.14 KWH means either as a UTILITY or CONSUMER...

Does $.14KWH mean that x 100KW (assume maximum output or consumption 24/7)…

•Does that mean a 100KW installation would generate $14.00 “per hour” in revenue (or cost)...

And therefore...regarding "kilowatt hours"...

• 24 x 7 = 168 hours per week x 4 weeks (total hours per month = 672

•Therefore 672 hours per month @ $14/hour or $9,408 per month?

kwh

.14 per kwh * 24 hours = $3.36 * 365 days in a year is $1226.40 x 100 = $122,640.00 per year / 12 = $10220 per month.

That is almost twice what I pay per kwh here in Spokane, which still isn't much. Seems you would want to place your generation plant somewhere with much higher rates if you're looking to earn income by selling electricity.

hi .. from what I read it appears to mean 14cents per Kwh cost .. $0.14 KWH

Hi Chip,

Energy is what is bought and sold in units of kiloWatt hours or kWh.

Power is the rate at which energy is consumed or generated. A rate is "per unit time", so Energy / time, or kWh / h which is equal to kW.

Power in kW. Energy in kWh.

So you say you have a consumption (or generation) of 100 kW. That is power, which is an instantaneous value. So if you have 100 kW continually for one hour, that equals 100 kWh of energy. That same 100 kWh of energy could have been from 5 kW of power for 20 hours.

So if the 100 kW of power is present continually for a month (672 hours), it represents 67,200 kWh of energy. If that energy has a value of $.14/kWh, the month's worth of energy has a value of $9408.

days too short

672 hours per month is a wrong estimate - that is only 22 hours in a day. See my post.

try plugging in 140 watts and 1 hour in following calculator:
