I suspect that Mike's post was just for "poking" us a bit. An example with my few active large factories in Nigeria, the previous electric cost would be one third less than current one:
Whiskey factory:
2 533 MWh x $15.00 = $37 998.31
Output = 278 321 units.
Electric cost per unit = [$0,13]652692394752821382504374445335
Previous cost = [$0,09]1017949298352142550029162968898
Pasta factory:
1 024 MWh x $15.00 = $15 366.47
Output = 284 196 units.
Electric cost per unit = [$0,05]4069972835648636856254134470577
Previous cost = [$0,03]6046648557099091237502756313718
Dumplings factory:
1 830 MWh x $15.00 = $27 454.77
Output = 226 801 units.
Electric cost per unit = [$0,12]105224403772470139020551055771
Previous cost = [$0,08]0701496025149800926803673705142
Experimental dog food factory:
2 852 MWh x $15.00= $42 772.83
Output = 43 982 units.
Electric cost per unit = [$0,97]25076167523077622663817016052
Previous cost = [$0,64]83384111682051748442544677368
All of them use solar panels innovation, but the electric cost difference is less than $1 in all cases. Barely noticeable even for a cheapskate like myself. Even if you rise the selling price 1 extra buck, it will keep being competitive and having a wide margin. So, don't take it so literally. XD Relax, that minimal rise will help to counter the regional losses meanwhile.
P.S: Mike is personally taking care of the loses of a city there, so I doub he is worried about losing money to the electric cost increase. |
