Chancellor George Osborne today announced that employers will no longer have to pay national insurance contributions (NIC) on apprentices aged 24 and under.
The average household in Massachusetts uses about 630 kilowatts of electricity a month, according to the most recent US government data. With National Gridâs new winter rate of 24.24 cents per kilowatt-hour, a typical monthly bill would run slightly more than $150. A National Grid spokesman, Jake Navarro, said that two-thirds of the cost comes from the purchase of electricity from power plants, compared to just over half last winter.
Prices also vary dramatically by region, often based on how much it costs to generate and distribute power, as well as taxes and other charges. In the United States for example, the average residential cost of a kilowatt hour in Wyoming is 6.2 cents and goes all the way up to 25.12 cents in Hawaii.
