   I believe the subsidies are supposed to be over and done with here. I am   
   paying 6.2 cents per kWh but the end bill comes to about 14 cents/kWh. I   
   have to assume that the cost rise due to subsidy removal on nuke energy is   
   done.   
      
   However, with the alternative energy sources being developed and subsidised   
   this price is definitely going to increase. Our provincial Hydro has had   
   80.2 cents shoved up their butts, kicking and screaming, for PV, but it   
   definitely helped develop an industry here. Long term? Maybe. I am not sure   
   who is paying that bill. I didn't get any of it and  lived on PV for a few   
   years building a home. The result of most subsidies is the prices go up and   
   the contractors get richer.   
   I am trying to mount same on my designed slope garage roof, right now.   
   Geeez! $100 per panel for just the racking and hearing $200-300 per panel to   
   install plus electrical. Not sure if I want to crawl out on a 12:12 pitch   
   roof and do this myself anymore. I am telling my wife it may be cheaper to   
   smash the PV panels and throw them in the garbage than pay the $5K to save   
   $500 worth of energy for the rest of our lives. They still lean against the   
   side of my barn being held in the wind by the connections...LOL   
      
   Yeah, I can see both sides of the argument but the prices are going to rise   
   for sure...a lot.

   What do you think the cost per KWH would be if all those were   
   considered?   
      
   I pay ~$0.151 per KWH now.
