Some comparative research:

"When we reported on Tuesday that the Bloom Energy surcharge was approaching $6, the question we got most often from lawmakers was, what about the jobs? The surcharge was designed to promote an economic development initiative that was expected to produce 900 jobs, and in Bloom's contract with Delaware, the company states its intention to have 300 onboard in Delaware by September.
One month ago, Bloom reported there were "over 100" employees at the Delaware manufacturing center at the former Chrysler plant site in Newark. Bloom's local spokesman, Bryan Horsey, responded to a News Journal inquiry early Tuesday night that there were "well over 100 workers" at the Bloom Manufacturing Center Delaware, and that the company continues to aggressively recruit there. Pressed for more details on Wednesday, Horsey declined to comment further.
The latest Bloom surcharge on Delmarva bills was $5.98 for a residential customer who uses 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in April. Bloom makes solid-oxide fuel cell servers, which produce power off the electric grid using natural gas, but do not burn the gas. The company says this is more environmentally friendly.

Gee well they are getting their funds by a directly levy on domestic electricity bills.
They get .598 cents per kWH so how much of the rate per kWH

Electricity Price, per kWh 12.17¢ 13th highest
but funded directly by electricity consumption to generate eventually 900 jobs.
