How this index works
- Monthly survey: We collect every price at the start of each month directly from provider websites and public rate cards. The current snapshot covers July 2026.
- All-in prices only: A rate qualifies only if it includes electricity, cooling, rack space and basic maintenance. Setup fees and minimum terms are recorded separately (see table).
- Sources: Provider websites and published rate cards are the primary source; figures are cross-checked before each release.
- What we compute: Simple average, median, minimum and maximum over all providers with a published per-kWh rate (9 of 17 tracked this month). Null values are excluded.
- No pay-to-play: Providers cannot pay to be included, excluded or repositioned — the same rule as our published methodology.
Why does the kWh price matter so much?
Electricity is roughly 80% of a hosted miner's operating cost, so small per-kWh differences compound quickly. An Antminer S21 (3,500 W, ~2,550 kWh/month) costs about $115/month at this month's minimum rate versus $204/month at the maximum — a gap of $1071 per year, per unit. New to hosting?

How EU and US hosting prices compare
The regional label in our provider dataset currently identifies 5 EU and 3 US providers. All 5 EU-labelled entries publish a per-kWh rate, averaging $0.058/kWh. None of the US-labelled entries publishes a comparable all-in per-kWh rate, so a US average would be misleading; compare each quote’s fees, term and payout model in the hosting comparison.
| Provider region | Providers tagged | Published kWh rates | Average published rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU | 5 | 5 | $0.058/kWh |
| US | 3 | 0 | Not published |
Region is the commercial-region field in the provider dataset, not a claim that every facility is located there. Providers without that field are not included in this regional snapshot.
