California's final 2024 EIA residential average. It is not a Los Angeles tariff or a live provider offer.
ELECTRICITY INTELLIGENCE · REVIEWED AUGUST 2026
Electricity cost in Los Angeles
A Los Angeles ZIP identifies a planning geography, but not the serving utility, tariff, seasonal tier or time-of-use period for an individual meter.
Calculate with your ZIP →What changes the real result?
- All-in delivered rate, fixed fees and time-of-use periods
- Actual monthly kWh and seasonal HVAC load
- Plan term, minimum-use rules, credits and early termination
- Solar export compensation and address-specific production
- EV charging losses, vehicle efficiency and charging time
DO NOT MIX THESE NUMBERS
Average price ≠ utility tariff ≠ retail offer.
EIA divides residential revenue by electricity sold to create an average-revenue benchmark. Your bill applies address-specific rate rules and fees. In competitive markets, compare the full disclosure document at your normal usage—not only the advertised cents per kWh.
