Refers to how much you pay for a unit of energy. When talking about natural gas, 1 unit = 1 CCF. When talking about electricity, 1 unit = 1 kiloWatt.
It depends what your voltage is and how much your electricity costs. Assuming you are running standard residential voltage and your electricity costs 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. 1 Amp would cost you 1 cent per hour or 29 cents per day or $105 per year.
A unit (as mentioned on the electricity bills) is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWH) of electricity.

You could power ten 100 watt light bulbs.
100 watts × 10 hours = 1000 watt hours = 1 kilowatt hour (= 1 kwh) = 1 unit of electricity.
Electricity is sold in kilowatt hours in typical residential settings. A range of costs is from about 10 to 15 cents per kw hr.
Electricity is sold to consumers thru meters that record kilowatt hours: 1000 watts turned on for 1 hour= 1kwh or kilowatt hour. If cost for 1 kwh = $0.10, then 1500 watts for 1 hour would cost 15 cents. Varies by location of the country. Check your utility bill for exact cost per kwh.
Most televisions today use around 100W when they are running. A typical charge for electricity is a little over 10c per kilowatt hour in the US or 10p in UK The television will use 1 KWH in about 10 hours so it will cost in the region of 1-2c or 1-2p per hour to run. The cost varies according to the size and consumption of the television and the cost of electricity in your region.
