- What does the all-in rate basis mean?
- Our bill estimates multiply usage by the EIA average residential retail rate (total revenue ÷ kWh). Because that average is computed from what customers actually paid, it already includes delivery, fixed customer charges, riders, and other utility fees — not just the energy. Our hidden electricity fees page itemizes what is inside that all-in number. Actual bills still vary by utility, plan, and locally billed taxes.
- Where does the data come from?
- We source electricity rate data from authoritative public sources including the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), state public utility commissions, and other aggregated datasets. See our Sources page and About page for details.
- How often is the data updated?
- State rates are reviewed and updated on a monthly cadence. We aim to reflect the latest published data from our sources. See our data policy for freshness definitions (fresh, aging, stale) and update cadence.
- Can I use the data in my publication or report?
- Yes. We provide downloadable datasets (JSON and CSV) for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Please attribute PriceOfElectricity.com and link to our site when possible. See our brand guidelines for attribution details.
