Anodising - power costs per square metre?

My company is in the process of buying an anodising plant. I am responding to quotes for anodising 6063 extrusion - however I am not sure about power costs? Does anyone out there have an approximation of the electricity costs of annodising (per metre squared for example)?

Thanks,

VERY tough one to answer... there is alot of power needed to anodize.. not only the rectifier, but your cooling system, the type of anodizing you are doing, plus the ventilation, the heating of your pre/post treatment tanks, the power to run your DI unit...the list goes on and on..but I think you get the point.
