Yes, in a lot of jurisdictions, that's the generator cost. Generation is typically < 1/3rd the total cost of electricity.
Here in NZ, I get a generation charge, a national lines charge, and a local lines charge per kwh. Then I've got an additional daily charge to be connected to the network. It works out to NZ$0.22/kwh.
Electricity isn't very useful when it's at the hydro lake!

Looking into it, Ontario power is:
(Peak 11AM-5PM)
12.4c/kWh generation.
3.37c/kWh distribution
1.21c/kWh transmission
$17.29/mo connection.
So, that's CDN16.98c/kWh delivered to a suburban home.

Still, nowhere near 30c/kWh.
