17.27p/kWh 
Not sure what that is in US$. Due to circumstances we are on a pre-pay tariff so it's more than a credit meter customer would pay 
Online conversion site says that would equal about 28 cents Canadian or about 21 cents US
How does the Prepay tarriff work? Sounds like it may be similar to what can be offered to some here, where a customers is on equal billing. Hydro one, our provincial hydro provider calls is budget billing and it works like this,
-The monthly Budget Billing amount is set based on the billing history to even out the energy costs over the course of the year.
-Customer pay's the same Budget Billing amount each month for a period of 6 months.
-At the 6th and 9th month of their annual Budget Billing plan, their monthly payment amount is reassessed to make sure they aren't paying too much or too little.
-At the end of 12 months from enrollment their account is reconciled with any credits owed or outstanding charges applied to their account. Then the next 12 months automatically begins for them.
I must also point out that hydro one is provincial here and in my city, we use a local utility instead, who is the one charging us the rates in the picture I linked above. Hydro one is more for outlaying areas here
