How the 15.86c figure is calculated

15.86c/kWh = $18,669k revenue / 117,680 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything Southern Pioneer Electric Company 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 $159 before taxes.

About Southern Pioneer Electric Company's 2024 electricity prices

Southern Pioneer Electric Company is a member-owned cooperative electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 60839. In 2024 it served 12,602 bundled residential customers in Kansas, and its average realised residential price was 15.86 cents per kWh: $19 million of residential revenue divided by 117,680 MWh of residential sales.

Across the other sectors, Southern Pioneer Electric Company's 2024 average prices were 14.22 cents for commercial customers (4,435 accounts) and 5.71 cents for industrial customers (68 accounts). Industrial customers paid 10.15 cents less per kWh than households, a 64% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service.

Within Kansas, Southern Pioneer Electric Company ranked number 10 of 22 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (12,602) and accounted for 0.85% 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 14.15 cents per kWh, so Southern Pioneer Electric Company's customers paid 1.71 cents above the Kansas average (+12.1%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for Kansas is 15.71 cents per kWh (June 2026, Electric Power Monthly); that is a different, more recent measure across all utilities and is not directly comparable with a 2024 annual average.

Source and method

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-861 Annual, 2024 final data (public domain), retrieved 28 August 2026; prices are average realised revenue per kWh, not tariffs. Final 2024 file f8612024.zip (released 3 December 2025) from the EIA-861 detailed data files. Preliminary 2025 figures come from the early-release file f8612025er.zip (4 August 2026), which EIA has not yet validated; they are labelled as such wherever shown and never mixed into a final figure.

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.
