Oy! It's the other way round here, you pay 22p/kWhr for the first N
units, then about 15p thereafter. It's supposed to cover fixed costs
like the meter (which was there years ago and must have payed for itself
many times over at that rate).

"P" is pence? Roughly 44 cents/kwh? Yikes!

Yes, but its not as bad as it sounds. Bills are made up of charge per
kWh and a fixed standing charge for the supply. The 44c/kWh rate only
occurs where people choose a no standing charge deal, where the first
so many units are hiked in price to add the standing charge. Its just
a marketing game.

16.4c here (0.128 USD)
