A recently proposed wave energy power system off the south western coast of Africa estimated their construction cost to be $2.9-million per MW.
The most cost effective wave energy generation plants are operating around 7.5 cents per kWh, as opposed to coal fired power stations at 2.6 cents/kWh.

∙ 14y agoOn websites that I have seen you wave energy can cost 4 cents per kwh, which is pretty cheap and is good for the enviroment, it is cheap because in Microsoft Excel I analizyed the cost for both of them. (The other one is most common, which is fossil fuel) You can see the difference in money... :) You can see the difference in money wise... Average usage per household per year:11232 kwh Cost Comparison Between Fossil Fuel or Wave Energy? Fossil Fuel:Average Cost per KWH: 11 cents Average Annual Cost:{| |- | $1,235.52 Cost Over 10 Years: $12,355.20 Cost Over 20 Years: $24,710.40 Wave Energy: Average Cost of KWH: 4 cents Average Annual Cost: $449.28 Cost Over 10 Years: $4492.80 Cost Over 10 Years: $8985.60 Savings: Annual Cost: $786.24 Cost Over 10 Years: $7,862.40 Cost Over 20 Years: $15,724.80 Vocabulary:KWH=Kilo-Watts-HOUR |}

How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb produce?
None. But it does convert 5 watts of electrical power (energy per unit time) into 5 watts of [light + thermal] power.
How much energy does a natural gas power station produce per day?
The energy produced is related to the size of the power plant, not the amount of gas it uses. The question you really want answered is "How much gas does it take to produce a kilowatt of electricity?"
What is the definition of electricity bill?
It is the amount in Rs. or Roller which is paid for how much unit of electrical energy consumed. the unit of electrical energy is KW h (kilowatt hour).
Can seismic energy be converted into electrical energy?
Sure they can, but it doesn't seem very practical, since probably there would not be much average power (energy per time unit) to be gained.
Difference between kw and kwh?
KW is the unit power KWh is the unit of electrical energy KW or Watt defines the rating or power of a electrical equipment. For ex: motors, heaters etc. KWh is a measurement that how much energy is been consumed by the electrical equipments. Generally, operating 1KW rated equipment for an hour measures one KWh. Energy meters are the instruments for this purpose
How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb produce?
None. But it does convert 5 watts of electrical power (energy per unit time) into 5 watts of [light + thermal] power.
How does fluorescent light bulbs help conserve energy?
It's because it need only 20% of the electrical power to produce as much light, therefore less energy is wasted.
How much electrical energy is produced by a light bulb with the power ratings of 60w?
A lamp doesn't produce electrical energy; it utilises it. The power-rating of the lamp will tell you the rate at which that lamp uses expends energy at its rated voltage. For example, a 60-W lamp will expend energy at 60 joules per second.
What will the electricity of a wind turbine cost?
This is a question of how much electrical energy you want to produce, against the cost of the equipment to produce it.
How much energy can nuclear supply?
The latest PWR designs can produce 1600MW electrical from one reactor.
What is the relationship between appliances power rating and the amount of heat it produce?
power rating is the rate of moving energy their relationship in the amount of heat it produce it divided by time to move that much energy
Does nuclear fuel produce sixty eight percent of the electrical energy in US?
No, much less, about 20 percent at present
How much of the total energy produced in the US is electrical energy?
73 % is electrical energy
How much energy does a natural gas power station produce per day?
The energy produced is related to the size of the power plant, not the amount of gas it uses. The question you really want answered is "How much gas does it take to produce a kilowatt of electricity?"
How much electrical energy was produced by nuclear power plants?
2,598,000,000,000 kWh a year, that was estimated in 2008.
How much electrical power can be provided by coal?
how much electrical power can be provided by coal
How much energy does the sun produce?
it produces 3.826*10 to the 26 power in one second
