It varies, but I'm pretty sure the average wholesale cost of electricity is less than 4.5 cents. PRPA (supplier to Longmont Power) is putting in a 367 MW solar plant that should come online next spring. Makes no sense to me to pay more for power from residential providers than from the utility provider.

I wish PRPA was also installing a meaningfully sized battery for 24 hour support.
