I couldn't quite believe your numbers, and couldn't find any confirmation for them: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/images/4/4f/Half-yearly_el

  Hm, that seems unusually high, really wonder where these stats come from. Is every eurostat statistic distorted like that? Here's a chart of energy prices on a Prague energy exchange, currently it's about 30 EUR/MWh = 0.032 USD/kWh. I pay a bit more than that (incl. distribution) with a good tarif (low cost broker), but even conservative people I know who don't renegotiate energy prices get about 0.06 USD/kWh incl. all distribution fees. That said, electric distribution network in our country is probably underinvested. Is the premium you're paying in US based on distribution network cost? http://www.tzb-info.cz/ceny-paliv-a-energii http://www.tzb-info.cz/ceny-paliv-a-energii

    Still seems low for retail. In Europe, the UK has very low costs with ~12-13€c/kwh, high cost countries such as Germany are more around 25-30c/kwh (taxes and renewable energy charge).
