I have National Grid, all told it's 14.5 cents per Kwh. So it's like 30.50 a year to run 24 watts.
I am sure come April National Grid will raise prices, just look at the price of oil and gas. It's not all about the money. I dream of living off the grid.

Hehaha! Be careful what you wish for. We might all be off the grid before you know it.
Gasoline and heating oil at 10 or 20 bucks a gallon isn't going to work..
If our economic situation continues to worsen, only very rich people
will be able to afford electricity.
I expect to see a massive migration from the NE to the Sunbelt during my life time.
No one will want to spent their entire life savings to heat their homes,
so they will not want to live up here.. And freeze to death.
My plan is to strip the abandoned houses in my neighborhood for firewood.
My boiler can burn any fuel but nuclear..
Of course, if we get some smarter people in government, that could all be avoided..
