.240 usd per kwatt according to google, kinda high imo, 6kw a day for 24 hrs @250 watts. X 31 days. Bout $45 bucks usd according to my calculation. Factor in all the watts you will use for the grow, fans humidifier etc... it adds up.

Run for 24/7 for a month how much cost in australia estimate
along with retaining a lawyer keeping shares in your local elec company means you are at the top of the list when theirs a fault,
well worth squeezing for any discount too as many factories do also

in many cases that latest power rip is the unjustified rise in delivery costs, power lines that your great grandparents paid for

They won't upgrade our power system
They say wind power and solar is our next power source instead of taking care of outdated power grid

Just last year a buddy in Sweden went solar at a hell of a cost, but still the batteries were killing him ...
until I said 'Send it out to the grid...'
now the guys rolling ...lol
meaning when you are at work the roof panels are making you cash,
but only to loose some when you get home and fry that steak and hook up another LED ...lol
with the future of power utility there's not a lot of incentive for serious profitmaking
