I get my electric rate per kWh by dividing the amount of my monthly bill by
the kilowatt hours I have used. This includes all the transmission charges,
taxes, and various fees for this and that.

So that stated 9 cents per kWh could actually be 11 cents per kWh!

Some people here (well actually 1) stated that we are spoiled since our gas
prices are low so we apparently are also spoiled by low electrical costs
however I shant comment about that lest I be chastised by those (that)
previously stated people (person)

The increased cost you pay is due to taxes

I can't imagine being on 220v in the UK helps much either.
