Commercial electricity in Jackson, Mississippi

Electric utilities serving Jackson

These are the utilities EIA records in Hinds County, Madison County and Rankin County, the 3 counties it spans. EIA lists a utility in a county when it has customers anywhere in it, so this is everyone with a presence, ordered by commercial customers across Mississippi, not a statement about any one address. Prices are EIA’s averages over all of each utility’s commercial customers: revenue divided by kWh.

What businesses in Jackson pay

Across Mississippi, businesses paid an average 13.77¢ per kWh over the 12 months to August 2026, 0.7% below the U.S. average of 13.87¢, and up 7.0% on the 12 months before. That ranks Mississippi 18 of 51, where 1 is the highest price. In 2025 the average commercial account in the state used 4,865 kWh a month, about $642 a month at the state price; that is a mean pulled up by a few very large users, so most small businesses use less.

A city has no price of its own: two businesses on the same street can pay very different amounts per kWh, because the rate schedule, the size of the peak and, where it is allowed, the supply contract matter more than the location. The Mississippi page has the state’s price history since 2010 and every utility with at least 500 commercial customers.

Common questions

Who provides electricity to businesses in Jackson?

EIA lists Entergy Mississippi, Central Electric Power Assn, Southern Pine Electric Cooperative and Southwest Mississippi E P A and 1 more as electric utilities in Hinds County, Madison County and Rankin County. Which one serves a given address depends on the street; the utility on an existing bill is the definitive answer, and a utility can confirm service for a new site.

EIA publishes prices by state and by utility: Entergy Mississippi averaged 13.36¢ per kWh for its commercial customers in 2025, and Mississippi averaged 13.77¢ over the 12 months to August 2026. A business’s own price depends on its rate schedule, its demand and, where it can choose, its supply contract.
