2024 annual average (EIA Electric Sales, Revenue, and Average Price, Table 5a, data year 2024, released Oct 7, 2025; identical to Electric Power Annual Table 2.10). price_cents_year_ago = 2023 annual average (Electric Power Annual Table 2.10). NOT monthly: EIA Electric Power Monthly Table 5.6.A (latest data month July 2026, released Sep 24, 2026) could not be retrieved, see notes.. EIA's average price is revenue per kWh, including delivery and fixed charges but not most taxes. EIA's outlook projects higher averages for 2025–2026, so today's rates are likely somewhat higher; check your bill.
