Assuming you're in the UK then it varies depending on whether you pay as you go (key meter) or are billed monthly or quarterly. It also varies as between suppliers.
However as a general guide EDF (Formerly London Electricity) charge 15.11p per day as a standing charge and 9.60p per KW hour for the electricity you use.
If one forgets the 15.11p daily charge then burning 10 100 watt light bulbs for one hour will cost you 9.60p. Which is the same as having used 1000 watts of electricity.

The cost of electricity depends on where you live, how much you use, and possibly when you use it. There are also fixed charges that you pay every month no matter how much electricity you use. The electric company measures how much electricity you use in kilowatt-hours. The abbreviation for killowatt-hour is kWh which = 1000 watts-hour.
The average cost of residential electricity was 9.86¢/kWh in the U.S. in March 2006. The average household used 888 kWh/mo.

I dont have my electricity bill to hand :-) but, a recent reply said that 1 kwh (one thousand watts for one hour) would cost about 12p on average.

Here in California, USA I am paying about $0.15 per kW-Hour. So 1000 Watts for 1 hour would cost about $0.15.

Energy units are away priced per hour the price mentioned on your account will be the price per Kilowatt hour (KWh). 1000 watts is 1KW
