What businesses in Moreno Valley pay
Across California, businesses paid an average 27.00¢ per kWh over the 12 months to August 2026, 94.7% above the U.S. average of 13.87¢, and up 5.4% on the 12 months before. That ranks California 2 of 51, where 1 is the highest price. In 2025 the average commercial account in the state used 5,360 kWh a month, about $1,402 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 California page has the state’s price history since 2010 and every utility with at least 500 commercial customers.
Choosing a supplier in Moreno Valley
California is not an ordinary retail choice market. Direct Access is capped and administered by allocation, and Community Choice Aggregation is determined by location rather than by shopping. For most commercial accounts the controllable cost sits in rate schedule selection, time-of-use windows and demand charges.
