Commercial electricity price by utility

The 100 largest utilities by commercial customers

Ordered by how many commercial customers each had in 2025, not by price. Bundled is the price paid by commercial customers who buy their energy and delivery from the utility, so it is an all-in price. Delivery-only is what the utility billed customers who buy their energy from a competitive supplier, so it is the delivery charge alone and cannot be compared with a bundled price.

Every state

Each state page has its own largest utilities, what a typical building pays there, and what a commercial account can do.

How to read these prices

• An average over every size of customer. Large customers pay less per kWh than small ones, so a utility whose commercial customers are mostly large averages fewer cents per kWh than one serving mostly small shops. A lower figure can mean more large customers and not a lower rate.
• Two service types, never added together. Where a utility has both, the bundled and delivery-only figures describe different customers and different parts of the bill.
• Only utilities with territory. Retail power marketers, community choice aggregators, behind-the-meter owners and utilities with fewer than 500 commercial customers are left out. Together the 1,160 utilities here had 18,191,118 commercial customers.
• Some delivery companies have no row. EIA’s table has no commercial sales rows for several large wires-only companies, such as the Texas delivery utilities, so the largest utility in a state is not always listed. The state page says so where it applies.
• One year of final data. This is the 2025 annual record; rates by state carries the trailing 12 months, which EIA still treats as preliminary.

A better yardstick for one business

What a business pays depends far more on its building and its rate schedule than on its utility’s average. The cost estimator gives a range by building type, size and state, average bill by state shows what the average commercial account used and was billed, and the tariff index lists the utilities whose own filed schedules are quoted on this site.

Common questions

How do I find my utility’s commercial electricity price?

Find your utility’s name on your bill, then look it up on its state page or in the directory on this page. The price shown is the average revenue per kWh EIA records for that utility’s commercial customers in 2025. It is context for reading a bill, not the rate on your own schedule, which is in the utility’s filed tariff.

Why do utilities in the same state have different commercial prices?

Their costs differ, their customers differ and their rate designs differ. A utility whose commercial customers are mostly large averages fewer cents per kWh than one serving mostly small shops, so part of the gap is the mix of customers rather than the rates. Some utilities generate their own power and some buy it, and investor-owned, cooperative and municipal utilities are owned, financed and regulated differently.

What is the difference between a bundled price and a delivery-only price?

Bundled is the price paid by commercial customers who buy their energy and delivery from the utility, so it is an all-in price. Delivery-only is what the utility billed customers who buy their energy from a competitive supplier, so it is the delivery charge alone and cannot be compared with a bundled price.

Is this the rate my business will pay?

No. It is the average of every commercial customer of that utility in one year. What one business pays depends on its rate schedule, how much it uses, when it uses it and, where there is supplier choice, its energy contract. A bill reviewed against the utility’s own tariff is a better yardstick than a utility-wide average.
