4-County Electric Power Association commercial electricity prices, 2015 to 2025

In 2015 4-County Electric Power Association billed its commercial customers an average of 12.73¢ per kWh. In 2025 the figure was 15.69¢, so it rose 23% over 10 years.

Average use and average bill are the utility’s commercial sales and revenue divided by its commercial customers and by twelve.

Residential, commercial and industrial prices at 4-County Electric Power Association

In 2025 the average commercial price at 4-County Electric Power Association was 15% above the residential figure and 86% above the industrial one. Larger customers take power at a higher voltage and use it more steadily, so at most utilities the average falls from residential to commercial to industrial. Which class an account falls in is the utility’s decision, and the line between commercial and industrial is drawn differently from one utility to the next.

How 4-County Electric Power Association’s commercial rates are set

4-County Electric Power Association is a cooperative, owned by the members it serves. Its board sets its rates, and in some states the state commission reviews them as well. A commercial account is billed on a rate schedule, chosen by the size of the account and the voltage it takes power at, and a schedule usually combines a fixed monthly charge, a charge per kWh and, above a certain size, a demand charge on the highest rate of draw in the month. The schedule code is printed on the bill. There is no competitive supply market for ordinary commercial accounts in Mississippi, so the levers are the schedule, the peak and the amount used.

Meters, time-varying rates and net metering at 4-County Electric Power Association

EIA counts 10,248 commercial meters at 4-County Electric Power Association in 2025, and 10,248 of them (100%) are advanced meters (AMI), which record use at least hourly and report it to the utility at least daily. An advanced meter is what makes interval data possible, and interval data is what shows when a building’s peak demand happens.

At 4-County Electric Power Association, 984 commercial customers were on a time-varying rate in 2025, about 9.6% of its commercial customers. A time-varying rate charges more in some hours than in others, so when a business uses power matters as well as how much. The kinds 4-County Electric Power Association reports offering commercial customers are time-of-use pricing.

Where 4-County Electric Power Association serves

EIA records 4-County Electric Power Association serving customers in 7 Mississippi counties: Choctaw, Clay, Lowndes, Monroe, Noxubee, Oktibbeha, Webster. A county can be shared between utilities, so this does not tell you who serves a given address. The utility that serves an address is the one named on its bill.

EIA lists the Tennessee Valley Authority as its balancing authority, the body that keeps supply and demand matched minute by minute across the area.

Other utilities in Mississippi

The average each billed its commercial customers in 2025. The Mississippi page has the state’s own figures and every utility with 500 or more commercial customers.

• Entergy Mississippi (13.36¢)
• Mississippi Power (12.67¢)

What these figures can and cannot tell you

• They are averages over every commercial customer. A utility whose commercial customers are mostly large averages fewer cents per kWh than one serving mostly small shops, so a lower figure can mean larger customers and not a lower rate.
• They are not a rate schedule. None of these figures is a charge printed in 4-County Electric Power Association’s tariff, and nothing here works out a bill from one. The tariff index lists the utilities whose filed schedules are quoted on this site.
• They are annual and final. EIA publishes utility figures once a year. The Mississippi page carries the state’s trailing 12 months, which is more recent and still preliminary.

For one building, the cost estimator gives a range by building type, size and state, and price by utility sets every utility side by side. Commercial vs residential vs industrial compares the classes in every state.
