If your stand-by is 200W, and average price of electricity is considered to $.15, than monthly 720hours * 0.2kw * $0.15 turns out to almost $20 monthly and $240 annually.
There are also states with $.2 kw/h and there are states with lower price point for the same.
So help electrical companies find more demand and bump higher prices. Another words it's very business-trivial: Higher demand = higher #of employees and higher expenses will end-up an increased price per unit of electricity used.
