How Electricity Cost Shapes Bitcoin Cash Mining Returns
At the current Bitcoin Cash price of $210.00, profitability swings sharply with the power tariff: 8 of 8 hardware models turn a profit at $0.04/kWh, but only 0 of 8 survive at $0.12/kWh. The most resilient miner is the MicroBT Whatsminer M66S, which stays cash-flow positive up to about $0.081/kWh thanks to its 11.5 J/TH efficiency.
At the other end, the Bitmain Antminer S19k Pro needs electricity below $0.041/kWh to break even — viable only with industrial or subsidised power. The gap between these two miners is the difference between profit and loss at the same electricity rate, which is why efficiency matters far more than headline hashrate.
Electricity is the single most variable cost in mining. The difference between $0.04/kWh and $0.12/kWh on a typical 3,000W ASIC is $17.28/day — over $6,300 a year. Use the matrix above to find the exact break-even point for your hardware, then confirm with your real tariff (quoted rates often exclude distribution, transmission, and taxes that add 20–40%).
Who Pays Each Rate?
- $0.04/kWh — Very cheap (industrial/hydro) Paraguay, Iceland, parts of Kazakhstan, large-scale US hydro (Pacific Northwest, Tennessee).
- $0.06/kWh — Cheap (industrial commercial) Texas (ERCOT off-peak), Alberta & Manitoba (Canada), Russia, parts of Eastern Europe.
- $0.08/kWh — Below-average (competitive commercial) US commercial average (~7–8¢), Canada residential, parts of Australia, some EU industrial zones.
- $0.10/kWh — Average (US residential) US residential average (~10–11¢), UK off-peak, parts of Southeast Asia.
- $0.12/kWh — High (European/Australian residential) Germany (~30¢), UK residential (~24¢), Australia (~25¢), Japan, most of Western Europe.
