Does $.14KWH mean that x 100KW ...

kwh

.14 per kwh * 24 hours = $3.36 * 365 days in a year is $1226.40 x 100 = $122,640.00 per year / 12 = $10220 per month.

That is almost twice what I pay per kwh here in Spokane, which still isn't much. Seems you would want to place your generation plant somewhere with much higher rates if you're looking to earn income by selling electricity.

Hi Chip,

Energy is what is bought and sold in units of kiloWatt hours or kWh.

Power is the rate at which energy is consumed or generated. A rate is "per unit time", so Energy / time, or kWh / h which is equal to kW.

Power in kW. Energy in kWh.

So you say you have a consumption (or generation) of 100 kW. That is power, which is an instantaneous value. So if you have 100 kW continually for one hour, that equals 100 kWh of energy. That same 100 kWh of energy could have been from 5 kW of power for 20 hours.

So if the 100 kW of power is present continually for a month (672 hours), it represents 67,200 kWh of energy. If that energy has a value of $.14/kWh, the month's worth of energy has a value of $9408.

days too short

672 hours per month is a wrong estimate - that is only 22 hours in a day. See my post.
