We pay $.075 / kwh in Utah.  If you add in the taxes and fees, then $.089

LIPA charges customers a fuel cost surcharge of 10.3 cents per KW in addition to the .075 per KW They dont call it a rate hike so they can avoid going thru the public service commision.

With the added "fuel" charges we are $.058 off peak (noon to 4p and 9p to 8a) and just about $.22 on peak. The regular flat rate is just over $.11.

In Texas, we can choose our retail electric provider and rates are running anywhere from 10 cents to 18 cents per kWh right now.  All rates are flat and you can go with a month to month contract where the rates float depending on market conditions all the way to locking yourself into a 5 year contract.   Average rate though is between 13 and 14 cents per kWh.

Seattle, Washington area (25 mi east of Seattle actually), under Puget Sound Energy, non-peak is $0.08 and $0.10 peak/over. We have all hydro and wind source power from BPA (a lot of which is sold to other states like CA) so it's cheap for peak here.

Most of Florida is in the range of 9-12 cents per kwh.

DOE has some national maps showing rates for every state

Without data, you only have an opinion.

It's difficult to determine an exact rate, since there all different charges. A customer charge, distrubution rate, transmission rate along with a dozen other minor chrages, not to mention different rates for Summer vs. Winter charge. but if I Divide my bill vs. how much power I used last month, I come up with 14.5 cent per KWH.

This is for South Jersey, Atlantic City Electric.

I also used TechGromit's approach (divide the entire bill by KWH) and I pay ~ 10.8 cents per KWH. 

I'm just west of Albany, NY (North Greenbush) and my electric provider is New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG).

I live in SW New Hampshire and here are my numbers from different sources:

EIA - State Electricity Profiles: 13.84 cents/KWH

New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning: 16.46 cents/KWH

My actual bill for November: 18.37 cents/KWH

South central Kansas, between Wichita and the Oklahoma border.

Local electric coop for our rural property, doesn't generate own power, buys and distributes from Westar:

Power cost is 10.7 cents/kwh...October consumption was 238 kwh's, w/taxes/surcharges etc. 20.2 cents/kwh

In city of Wellington which has a power plant that is used as backup and to generate electricity when cheaper than buying it.

Power cost is 7.06 cents/kwh...October consumption was 159 kwh's, w/taxes/surcharges etc. 17.7 cents/kwh

If we consumed more KWH our monthly actual cost/KWH would reduce as the "other" charges would be spread over more KWH's.

Taking the total annual bill and dividing it by the kWh supplied gives me Can$0.07 per kWh inclusive of tax and standing charges. This is for 18330kWh.

I'm in Montreal, Quebec and we're pretty much 100% hydroelectric here.

Wow! I didn't realize how much the cost of electricity varies from location to location. Here in Southern Michigan, I'm paying 11¢ per kWh for normal home electricity and with time of day meter, for the geothermal unit and supporting equipment, like the well and water heater, the rate is 6¢ per kWh. During the summer the time if day metered electricity is 9¢ during the day and 6¢ during the evening hours. These values take into account taxes and all other fees. I just divide the bill total by the total kWh used.

Wow! Energy conserving technologies like geothermal and solar thermal make a lot more sense when you have to pay more like 15 centers per kWh.

In south east PA PECO is the supplier.

~$ 0.147/Kwhr during heating season
~$0.147/Kwhr for first 600 kwhr and then $0.167 /Kwhr beyond that during cooling season.

If you go all electric, then PECO gives you a rebate above 600 Kwhr used during the heating season. You then pay $0.077 /Kwhr beyond the 600 Kwhr.
