Experienced at running my own server: 50€/month power bill
It's okay I guess
Wow that's.... Pricey. What is your kWh cost?
~0.28€/kWh
So 50€/month assumes an average of 263W used 24/7, though considering I also have two switches and a workstation/backup server as well as the inefficiency of an UPS, that is realistic.
Yeah sounds about right. But we have really cheap power, something like 7 or 8 cents per kwh (US). Not sure why, lots of wind I guess.
The term you’re looking for is government-subsidized fossil fuels.
Not really. About 55 percent of the power today came from renewables.
