World Electricity Pricing Comparison including the U.S. Virgin Islands - Wikipedia

 

Electricity pricing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Take a look at a comparison of world electricity rates.  Living in the U.S. Virgin Islands I was looking to compare our rates to other parts of the world.  A couple of things that stand out are that Jamaica, another caribbean island, has far lower rates than ours.  Our rates are closer to remote islands in the south pacific which is odd considering we are so close to so many fuel refineries.  Why do we pay so much?
