progress energy released energy saving tips, and said turning off your computer during non-use would knock $10 off a month. But I guess it depends on how much you use your computer.

How much are you paying for the electricity?
In suspend a PC should be down to about 10 watts, so, 1kWh gives you 100 hours of operation - about 4 days. A year is going to be about 85 kWh. So at 10 cents per kWh that would be about $8.50
Put it in hibernate and it will use the same as if it was off.

Not much from what I understand. Couple of extra dollars a month.
