- vorpalhex 5y agoHow this works in most areas is small amounts of electricity are subsidized and that subsidy goes away the more electricity you use. Fridge, washing machine, A/C, tv, game console or such - you are probably not paying much. Running a rack of gpus to mine the latest coin? Running a machine shop? Well, your cost is gonna start climbing.
