Imperial Irrigation District Electricity Rate per kWh (2024 EIA Data)
Political Subdivision|EIA utility 9216|California|Bundled
In 2024, Imperial Irrigation District's residential customers paid an average of 17.91 cents per kWh: $354 million of revenue over 1.98 million MWh of sales across 142,078 bundled residential customers, as reported to EIA on Form 861.
How the 17.91c figure is calculated
17.91c/kWh = $353,871k revenue / 1,975,507 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything Imperial Irrigation District billed its residential customers (energy, delivery, fuel and rider charges, fixed charges) divided by the kilowatt-hours it sold. It is not a tariff rate, and a 2024 annual average will differ from a current bill. For a 1,000 kWh month at this average, the energy cost works out to about $179 before taxes.

Within California, Imperial Irrigation District ranked number 6 of 35 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (142,078) and accounted for 2.30% of the state's residential electricity sales in 2024, measured in MWh sold or delivered rather than in customers. The state-wide average realised residential price in 2024, computed from the same EIA file, was 31.97 cents per kWh, so Imperial Irrigation District's customers paid 14.06 cents below the California average (-44.0%).

EIA's service-territory file places Imperial Irrigation District in 3 California counties: Imperial, Riverside, and San Diego. On the grid side it operates in the WECC NERC region and the CAISO (California ISO) market, and reported generation, transmission, buying transmission, and distribution as its activities. Balancing authority code: IID.

Final 2024 file f8612024.zip (released 3 December 2025) from the EIA-861 detailed data files.

Method: cents per kWh = revenue (thousand dollars) divided by sales (megawatthours), times 100. Customer counts, sales and revenue are the utility's own annual survey responses by state and sector. Bundled = energy plus delivery from one utility; delivery-only = the wires charge for customers who buy energy from a competitive supplier; energy-only = a competitive supplier's energy charge without delivery. County lists come from the EIA-861 Service Territory file; territory centroids used for "nearby utilities" are unweighted means of Census 2023 county centroids.
