What Is A Unit Of Electricity

[jonik]

well random you live in a land of sunshine so why don't u just put up a lot of solarpanels to feed the engines. I'm amazed that there are so little of this in los. Ofcourse you'll not get nearly the amount of power you need but it's free.

How about dehydrating the water to reduce the weight while it's still underground? Then pump or lift that up to the surface, which should use less energy, and just add... er.............

[jonik]

i'll guess you need somewhat of an atomicdrivenpowerplant to acheve that

Ramdom,

Electricity is costing me 3.3 baht per unit.

I also have a figure of 0.5683 on my bill but that is not the price per unit.

Cost of 616 units:

150 * 1.8047 = 270.705

250 * 2.7781 = 694.525

216 * 2.9780 = 643.248

Service charge = 40.9

------------------------------

Sub Total (1) = 1649.378

Fuel tax factor * units = 0.5683 * 616 = 350.07

------------------------------

Sub Total (2) = 1999.45

7% tax = 139.96

------------------------------

Total = 2139.41 baht

It is not free or even close. Have you priced solar panels in Thailand? Then you have to convert it to a usable form and for most things that means battery and maintenance and chemicals and all kinds of things those who think they are green will get upset about. Solar panels work for specific use, such as road signs and phone service but has a long way to get into the mainstream.

You don't say lopburi...............

Wonder why somebody even botherd to build this then....

Ohh yeah and i even seem to remember some satelites thats powerd by the sun.

Hmmmm.............no , you're right it's just stupid.

We are talking about Thailand and the cost here. I am very aware of the use of solar power in satellites but it is not fee or even cost effective if there is any other choice yet.
