Linus (tech tips) said Vancouver BC has cheap electricity bc it’s all hydro.

May vary by municipality but BC is the 3rd cheapest in Canada

Manitoba has some of the lowest rates in the country

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's the 2nd lowest, but Quebec is still dramatically cheaper
