I pay ~$80 a month in electricity, including all the delivery and admin charges. We run computers non stop and don't really focus on toning anything down. That had us at 664kWh for the last bill I checked.

Based on the rates I searched online for Ontario (they have different prices based on usage time) but I saw one bill posted online that had 2000kWh, I have no idea how they get that high, they must have AC, a hot tub, electric water heater and electric heating? For 2000kWh the bill after all fees was ~$500. Doing my simple monkey math I am thinking they pay approx twice what we pay here per kWh after all the extras.
