How much of my electricity bill is not actually electricity?

It varies a lot by utility. Across the itemized states where the utility splits out its delivery costs, non-energy charges run from about $29 a month (22.5% of the bill in Nevada) up to about $242 a month. For California's Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), fees and taxes are 67.7% of a 900 kWh bill — more than the energy itself.

What counts as a hidden fee on an electricity bill?

Everything except the energy you actually use: the fixed monthly customer charge, delivery and distribution, transmission, riders (efficiency, renewable, storm, wildfire, and bond-recovery charges), and taxes or franchise fees. These are real, recurring charges — they are just rarely shown as a single line.

Which utility has the highest non-energy charges?

Among the states we itemized, California's Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has the highest, at about $242 a month in non-energy charges on a 900 kWh bill (67.7% of the total).

Why is PG&E's bill mostly fees and not energy?

PG&E's energy (generation) rate is only part of the story. Its delivery, transmission, wildfire, and bond-recovery riders blend to about 24.2¢/kWh, and it charges a fixed monthly Base Services Charge. We model the standard Tier 3 (standard / default income) customer at $24.15/mo; lower-income customers pay $6.00 (CARE/FERA) or $12.08 a month.

Where does this fee data come from?

Three sources, cross-checked: each utility's published tariff or rate sheet for the itemized charges, the OpenEI Utility Rate Database (URDB) as an independent all-in check, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) state average for reconciliation. Every figure is dated and linked to its source. We never estimate a fee we could not find.

When people compare electricity prices they look at the energy rate — the cents per kWh for the power itself. But that's only part of the bill: utilities also add a fixed monthly fee, delivery and transmission, a stack of riders, and taxes. So far we've pulled apart every charge for 47 states — Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming — and validated the all-in cost across 50 states in total. Where the utility files its own energy-versus-delivery split, non-energy charges run from about $29/mo (22.5% of the bill in Nevada) to $242/mo (67.7% in California): two homes using the same power can pay very differently once fees and taxes are counted. We're adding states one at a time.

One thing worth knowing: these fees are not an extra cost on top of the averages and calculators elsewhere on this site. The all-in rates our estimates use are built from what customers actually paid, so the fees are already inside those numbers — this page shows what they're made of.

How the bill adds up, state by state

These are the states we've fully itemized so far — more are on the way.

For these states we read each charge straight from the utility's tariff or rate sheet. Each table shows the cost per kilowatt-hour, so you can see the energy itself plus every fee and tax add up to the all-in rate. Where a utility files one combined energy-and-delivery rate instead of splitting them, we show that bundle as a single line and break out every fee the tariff discloses on top. Open “See every line item” for the named charges.

A note on California's PG&E charge

PG&E's Base Services Charge is income-graduated. We model the standard Tier 3 customer ($24.15/mo) for the headline figure. Lower-income customers pay less: Tier 1 (CARE/FERA) is $6.00/mo and Tier 2 is $12.08/mo. The range is stated so the headline is not read as cherry-picking the highest tier.

How we measured this

We triangulate three sources so no single one drives the result:

Utility tariff filings and rate sheets. Primary itemized source for fixed charges, delivery/distribution, transmission, riders, and taxes. Captured directly from each utility's published residential tariff PDF or rate sheet.
OpenEI U.S. Utility Rate Database (URDB). Independent bundled all-in cross-check, modeled at 900 kWh. Used to validate the all-in cents/kWh figure for each utility and to provide the all-in number where a full tariff breakdown was not available.
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). State residential average price reference. Each modeled all-in rate is reconciled against the EIA state average so the figure stays within a defensible band.

Every figure assumes a standard 900 kWh per month so states can be compared on the same footing. Tiered per-kWh charges are blended to one effective rate for 900 kWh rather than added together. Each modeled all-in rate is reconciled against the EIA state average and kept within ±20% of it. Exception: where a utility's own service territory demonstrably diverges from its state's average — for example an expensive incumbent in a state whose EIA average blends much cheaper consumer-owned utilities — we instead require the utility tariff and the OpenEI URDB model to corroborate each other (within ±10%), and we disclose the full EIA delta on the row rather than hiding the divergence. Where the URDB record for a utility is stale, a published figure from the state utility regulator — a commission order or bill-impact notice — serves as the independent cross-check instead. A second exception covers timing: the EIA average is published months in arrears, so a row can fall outside the band simply because the tariff moved after EIA's reference month. Where that happens we keep the current tariff rather than the figure that would match EIA, and name the rate change that opened the gap on the row.

What counts as non-energy: Everything on a residential electricity bill except the supply (generation) energy commodity rate: the fixed customer charge, delivery/distribution, transmission, riders (efficiency, renewable, storm, wildfire, recovery, etc.), and taxes/franchise fees. One-time fees and minimum-bill floors are excluded from the recurring monthly add-on.

Confidence: a high rating means the all-in rate is corroborated by both the utility tariff and openei urdb, with both within +/-20% of the eia state average — or, under the utility-anchor exception, with the tariff model and urdb corroborating each other within +/-10% and the eia delta disclosed on the row, or, under the timing exception, with the row built from a tariff effective later than eia's reference month and the rate change that opened the gap named on the row. A medium rating means the all-in rate comes from a single validated source (either the utility tariff or urdb) that reconciles with the eia state average.

Coverage and freshness: Coverage is intentionally honest about its limits: 47 states and districts have a complete itemized breakdown — 20 where the utility files its own energy-versus-delivery split (California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia) and 27 shown as bundled because the utility files one combined energy-and-delivery rate (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming). For bundled states we count only the separately disclosed fees in the add-on and say so — the true non-energy share is higher but not published. Texas is shown as delivery-only because it is deregulated, and 50 states have a single validated all-in rate. This set is expanding over time as more tariffs are itemized. The data was last updated 2026-07-16, and each row carries its own “as of” date. This is a manually curated, point-in-time dataset; it is not auto-refreshed. Every state and the District of Columbia now has a row. Three states — Arizona, Colorado, and Kansas — have a single validated all-in rate but no itemized breakdown yet, held back rather than estimated: Arizona because its default time-of-use plan mix cannot honestly be modeled at a flat 900 kWh, and Colorado and Kansas pending recent rate cases. See our rate methodology for how the underlying state averages are sourced.

Frequently asked questions

How much of my electricity bill is not actually electricity?: It varies a lot by utility. Across the itemized states where the utility splits out its delivery costs, non-energy charges run from about $29 a month (22.5% of the bill in Nevada) up to about $242 a month. For California's Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), fees and taxes are 67.7% of a 900 kWh bill — more than the energy itself.
What counts as a hidden fee on an electricity bill?: Everything except the energy you actually use: the fixed monthly customer charge, delivery and distribution, transmission, riders (efficiency, renewable, storm, wildfire, and bond-recovery charges), and taxes or franchise fees. These are real, recurring charges — they are just rarely shown as a single line.
Which utility has the highest non-energy charges?: Among the states we itemized, California's Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has the highest, at about $242 a month in non-energy charges on a 900 kWh bill (67.7% of the total).
Why is PG&E's bill mostly fees and not energy?: PG&E's energy (generation) rate is only part of the story. Its delivery, transmission, wildfire, and bond-recovery riders blend to about 24.2¢/kWh, and it charges a fixed monthly Base Services Charge. We model the standard Tier 3 (standard / default income) customer at $24.15/mo; lower-income customers pay $6.00 (CARE/FERA) or $12.08 a month.
Where does this fee data come from?: Three sources, cross-checked: each utility's published tariff or rate sheet for the itemized charges, the OpenEI Utility Rate Database (URDB) as an independent all-in check, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) state average for reconciliation. Every figure is dated and linked to its source. We never estimate a fee we could not find.
