What is the cost of electricity for you?
In addition to the variable component of your consumption, you must pay a network charge and VAT. The network is determined by how sharp you have fuses. Between 25 Amp and 16 Amp usually distinguish some 600kr per year. That makes it expensive to have stronger fuses than you need. In all, including electricity costs £ often below 1 per kilowatt hour (kWh).
Electricity is getting more expensive
If you managed to get the price down as much as possible with your supplier so you still have the cost of electricity which is twice as high as a year ago. Yet, the electricity will continue to become more expensive.
For most consumers, electricity costs are already too much. The sustainable way to bring down the cost of electricity is to see how you can reduce your energy use. TIP! New product in Sweden helps to learn more about eöceye
Where will the electricity come from?
Below shows the total electricity production in Sweden 2006 and imports. We import this year more than 2% of electricity was not enough else to. The imported electricity is mainly produced in coal power plants.
No matter where electricity is produced so it goes in the same lines to your home.
What does it cost to produce electricity?
Coal power plants are not very effective at producing electricity. In order to give us 1 kWh of electricity, you will use 3.3 kWh of coal. This electricity is the most expensive in particular cargo and dirty most to manufacture.
Hydroelectric power is a clean form of electricity production when it does not lead to the emission of pollutants. Cost of production is approximately per kWh is about :12-15 cents.
Nuclear plant costs about 7-8 cents per kWh from the existing plants. It is a "clean" production, which do not produce CO2 and contribute to the greenhouse effect. But production is associated with incalculable risks in the event of accidents. Long-term storage of waste is still not resolved. If we are to build new nuclear power plants, the cost will be higher 18-19 cents per kWh.
Wind power in Sweden is a small part of the electricity supply (2%). New technology has made them more efficient. Denmark is talented in this area. 20% of their electricity produced by wind turbines. The production cost is around 50-55 cents per kilowatt hour See link http://www.windpower.org
Not just money - it is also about the environment
The cheap electricity going in the first. The change from oil to pump provides modest environmental benefits. With a heat pump, it is about 3.3 kWh of coal to replace 3 kWh oil. But a heat pump, which replaces the Office is an environmentally sound investment. It should avoid the fossil fuels oil, coal, peat and natural gas in the use creates carbon dioxide (CO2), which in turn contributes to the so-called greenhouse effect.
