What is the actual cost of electricity per watt hour?
The only meaningful rate is the one you actually HAVE to pay. In the case of my November 2019 bill in Mesa Arizona USA it is for 320 KWh or $54.87/230 = 23.9 cents per KWh. This is 0.0239 cents per watt hour. If you only consider the cost of electricity that is 56.0\% of the total or 0.0134 cents per watt hour.
