How the city pages are built

EIA’s Form EIA-861 records every county each electric utility serves. The Census Bureau’s population estimates record the county each city lies in and how many of its residents live in each part. Joining the two gives the utilities with customers in a city’s county or counties. A county is often shared between an investor-owned utility, cooperatives and city-owned utilities, so a page lists them all rather than guessing which one serves an address; the ZIP Code lookup narrows it to a ZIP Code’s county.

Cities are drawn from the 300 most populous incorporated places in the 50 states and DC in the Census Bureau’s Vintage 2025 estimates; one is left out (Savannah, GA) because EIA’s county list there names no utility with many commercial customers, which means the list is incomplete. Connecticut’s are placed in its eight historical counties, because EIA lists its utilities by those, not by the planning regions the Census adopted in 2022.

A city page says who serves the area. A bill says what one business pays and why. A person can read yours. Nobody calls unless you ask.
