I'm in the electrical power industry, so I thought I'd calculate the cost of electrity with the various ways we (as boaters) have of making or buying it.
On the self-generation side, this ONLY includes fuel. Not capital, or any other operation expense. I also tailored this for Bahamas/caribbean and US power in FL and here at my house in NY.
fuel $/kWh
Grand Bahama utility $0.22
Carib/other Bahama utility $0.32
9kw Northern lights, .93 gph US- marina diesel $2.33/g $0.26
Lucaya- marina diesel $3.72/g $0.41
16kW Generac, 3.2 gph US propane $2.8/g $0.56
16kW Generac, 312 cfph US nat gas $13/kcf $0.25
FPL utility various $0.10
FEC utility hydro $0.05
Honda 2kW portable, .28 gph US road gas $2.40/g $0.42
