Electric utilities and what their customers pay

177 utilities with 100,000 or more residential customers report a full-service residential price to EIA. In 2025 their averages ranged from 10.51¢ per kWh at Magic Valley Electric Cooperative (Texas) to 45.77¢ per kWh at SDG&E (California)1.

One page per utility and state

Utilities report to EIA separately for each state they serve, and their prices differ from state to state, so a company such as Duke Energy or PacifiCorp has one page per state. Each page shows the average residential price and bill from EIA-861 2025, the change from 2024, the last 12 months where EIA's monthly survey covers the utility, the counties where it reports customers, and its outage minutes.

In states with retail choice, the utility's price covers only customers on its default service; customers of a supplier pay the utility for delivery and the supplier for energy, and the pages show both parts separately. Texas delivery utilities sell no electricity, so their pages show delivery charges and what Texas retail providers' customers paid in total.

Smaller utilities, cooperatives and city utilities appear in the utility table on their state's page. For the cheapest and most expensive large utilities nationally, see the utility ranking.
