According to the Royal Academy of Academy of Engineers (yes they are British), it costs between 2.7 and 3.2 pence per kilowatt hour. Maybe that is helpful
That very much depends on the cost of the coal. Question has no answer
It takes one ton of coal to generate an average of 2500 KWH of electricity.

I am pretty sure that LESS electricity is generated with biomass, meaning that its use is not as common as coal.
The country of Australia pulls it's electricity from a variety of different sources and where you are located. This means that the cost to generate 1 kilowatt of electricity can vary between 15 and 25 cents .
it takes 800 gallons of water to make 1 megawatt-hour of electricity (1000 kWh).
Electricity companies generate electricity and then sell it at a price that covers their costs. We have a choice of using a lot or a little, depending on how much we want to pay.
Depends on the amount of electrical energy they (need to) generate. How much does the average nuclear plant generate ? How much does the average coal plant generate ?
There are several disadvantages to using coal to generate electricity. When coal is burned, it releases lots of carbon dioxide, which is a problem because the atmosphere already has too much carbon dioxide and it is causing global warming. In addition, there are impurities in coal which result in other forms of air pollution, particularly sulfur dioxide which results in acid rain. Coal mining is also a dangerous activity that results in many deaths. And although there is a lot of coal, it is still not a renewable resource, and it will eventually run out, if we continue to burn it.
biomass is not cheap..biomass would cost almost twice as much on average as gas or coal-fired electricity.
