Guangzhou GPU Electricity Cost Estimate | Generated by AI
Good question. It depends on how much of that 4.9 kWh / 7.7 kWh (depending on total system draw) is on a residential electricity rate in Guangzhou. Here’s a breakdown and estimate based on local rates:
⚡ Guangzhou Residential Electricity Rates
- Guangzhou uses tiered (“阶梯”) electricity pricing for residents. (Guangzhou Government Portal)
- Summer-mode (May–October) and non-summer (Nov–Apr) rates differ. (news.dayoo.com)
-
In summer mode:
- 1st tier (≤ 260 kWh/month): ~¥ 0.589 / kWh (Guangzhou Government Portal)
- 2nd tier (261–600 kWh): ~¥ 0.639 / kWh (m.mp.oeeee.com)
- 3rd tier (≥ 601 kWh): ~¥ 0.889 / kWh (news.dayoo.com)
- In non-summer mode the thresholds change: 1st tier is up to 200 kWh, 2nd is 201–400, etc. (news.dayoo.com)
💡 Cost Estimate for Your Use
Taking your GPU system power consumption and mapping to Guangzhou rates:
-
If you run for 1 hour (~0.205 kWh for GPU only):
- Use the 1st-tier rate (if your total household usage this month is still in tier 1): ( 0.205 , \text{kWh} \times ¥,0.589/\text{kWh} ≈ ¥,0.121 )
- If you’re already in the 2nd tier for the month, cost could be ( 0.205 × 0.639 ≈ ¥,0.131 ).
-
If you run 24 hours (using the GPU-only estimate of ~4.92 kWh):
- At first-tier: ( 4.92 × 0.589 ≈ ¥,2.90 )
- At second-tier: ( 4.92 × 0.639 ≈ ¥,3.15 )
If you consider a more realistic total system draw (say 320 W, giving ~7.68 kWh for 24 h):
- ( 7.68 × 0.589 ≈ ¥,4.52 ) (if still in tier 1)
- ( 7.68 × 0.639 ≈ ¥,4.91 ) (in tier 2)
✅ Summary
- 1 hour of your GPU running costs roughly ¥0.12–0.13 (assuming GPU-only draw).
- 24 hours continuous costs around ¥2.90–3.15 (GPU-only) or ¥4.5–4.9 (whole system at ~320 W).
If you tell me your monthly electricity usage (or a rough estimate), I can better predict what tier you’ll be on and give you a more accurate monthly cost. Do you want me to do that?
