Hm, that seems unusually high, really wonder where these stats come from. Is every eurostat statistic distorted like that?
Here's a chart of energy prices on a Prague energy exchange, currently it's about 30 EUR/MWh = 0.032 USD/kWh. I pay a bit more than that (incl. distribution) with a good tarif (low cost broker), but even conservative people I know who don't renegotiate energy prices get about 0.06 USD/kWh incl. all distribution fees.
That said, electric distribution network in our country is probably underinvested. Is the premium you're paying in US based on distribution network cost?
Still seems low for retail. In Europe, the UK has very low costs with ~12-13€c/kwh, high cost countries such as Germany are more around 25-30c/kwh (taxes and renewable energy charge).
