Electricity cost in New York City

A New York City ZIP does not reveal the account's current supply price, delivery charges, taxes or time-varying terms. Compare using the all-in cents per kWh from the full bill.

New York City planning benchmark24.43¢/kWh

New York's final 2024 EIA residential average. It is not a Con Edison tariff, neighborhood average or live supplier quote.

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.
