Power

TGT

So I requested some power from a Data Center for 4 of my miners that uses 3250w. Instead of them sending me the out the door KWH price they sent me this long list of pricing.

Can anyone help me figure out the all in price per Kwh monthly. I think they're trying to confuse the hell out of me.

_MONTHLY BILL
Rate
$ 9.10 Service Availability Charge

Energy Charge
$ 0.07483 Per kWh for the first 1600 kWh*
$ 0.03456 Per kWh for all additional kWh

Peak Capacity Charge
Summer Billing (June - September)
$ 0.02060 Per kWh for all kWh in excess of 600 kWh

Non-Summer Billing (October - May)
$ 0.01041 Per kWh for all kWh in excess of 600 kWh
*200 kWh are added for each kW of Billing Demand in excess of 5 kW.

Minimum Bill
$9.10 plus $ 4.16 per kW of Billing Demand in excess of 5 kW. A higher Minimum Bill may be specified in the Customer's Application
and Agreement for Electric Service. The Minimum Bill is not subject to reduction by credits allowed under the adjustments below_

So what's the monthly charge I'm so lost. Not going to say the provider but they are active on LET.

That is certainly on the more complicated side of things.

Yes I'm still scratching my head.

Obviously there's a $9.10/month base cost. I assume the $4.16/kW rate only applies when you exceed your arranged-in-advance quota (5kW is included, it seems). The word choice is quite odd, however: "Billing Demand".

I understand the $9.10/month base charge that's understandable but the way it switches from kw to kwh that's where the confusion coms in. Shouldn't it be per Kwh of billable demand?

My miners use 78kWh/day, 2340kWh/month and 28470kWh per year. So would I assume they're going to charge me the base of course and an additional $8.32 per miner. (edit per 2 miners)

2340-740kWh = 1600kWh = $119/month
740kWh (excess rate) = $25/month
Total: $144/month

I didn't calculate this, though:

*200 kWh are added for each kW of Billing Demand in excess of 5 kW.

My bad, actually, I didn't factor in the 5kW that's included, either... well, 2340/720 (30*24) = 3.25kW

Your monthly charges are:

1. $ 9.10 Service Availability Charge
2. $ 0.07483 Per kWh for the first 1600 kWh
3. $ 0.03456 Per kWh for the next 740 kWh
4. $ 0.01041 Per kWh for 1740 kWh

I believe you are entitled to ask exactly what the charges will be if you use exactly 3250W 24/7. That's what billing support is for.

That's very cheap Power. Where you get it at?
