I couldn't find any info on the WAPA webpage, could someone post the $ /kWh for electricity on STX and the cost of additional taxes. Thanks

I think it's around $.35 or so. Very high.

Really? That's incredible, Hawaii only pays 21 cents per kWh. Going to have tweak my budget spreadsheet, Thanks.

Per my last bill on STT, the WAPA use fee per kwh is approximately .075 per kwh, plus another approximately .20 per kwh for surcharges, for a total of .275 per kwh.

Best,

That's relatively cheap. Our condo complex is billed on one meter & WAPA insists it's commercial. The association bills us individually for our use so my rate is .30/kw on STT.

Trade, that seems pretty unfair...someone could run their AC all day and night and you pick up the tab. Did your association ever consider metering each unit??? Or is WAPA somehow blocking that common sense approach??

No, there's one meter that WAPA reads & bills the Association but each unit IS metered & the Condo Assoc. bills us & we pay them rather than WAPA. Sorry, I wasn't clear.
