Currently, it is 17 cents per kilowatt hour. In the past 10 years, the price has ranged from 11 to 18 cents per kilowatt hour. See the link for current info.

A kilowatt (1000 watts) is the unit of measurement for the current consumed per hour.
it is 334 kw per hour
The energy 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) is 3600000 joules.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. You probably mean 'kilowatt hour'?
There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". Kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. A unit of energy is kilowatt-hour. That's kilowatt times hours, not "per" hour ("per" implies division, not multiplication). If a generator produces 10 kilowatts, that means it produces 10 kilowatt-hours every hour.
It is a unit of energy. If energy is transferred at a rate (power) of one kilowatt, during one hour, then one kilowatt-hour (kilowatt times hour) of energy will be transferred. Since a joule is equal to a watt-second, a kilowatt-hour is the same as 3.6 million joules.
Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.
Take the amount of kWh that the meter states that you have used and multiply it by the cost of a kWh in your area.Another AnswerSubtract the energy meter reading from the previous billing period from that from the current billing period to determine the number of kilowatt hours used during that period. Multiply this difference by the cost per kilowatt hour charged by your energy provider. Note, however, some energy providers have a complicated billing system (tariff) in which the cost per kilowatt hour changes according to the amount of energy you use: x cents per kilowatt hour for the first so many kilowatt hours, y cents per kilowatt hour for the next so many kilowatt hours, and so on. Additionally, there may be a multiplication factor based on the changing price of fuel.
It is not power which is measured in homes, but energy consumption. Electricity companies charge for energy consumption in kilowatt hours (kW.h). This is done using an energy meter (also known as a 'watt-hour meter' or 'kilowatt-hour meter'), which monitors the supply voltage, and the in-phase component of the load current.
the avg pay between 4.7 cents to 14.6 cents per kwh depending on the time of day we use power.
