Calculate with your ZIP →What changes the real result?
- All-in delivered rate, fixed fees and time-of-use periods

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.
