Fitchburg Gas & Elec Light Co Electricity Rate per kWh (2024 EIA Data)
Investor Owned|EIA utility 6374|Massachusetts|Bundled + Delivery
In 2024, Fitchburg Gas & Elec Light Co's residential customers paid an average of 40.08 cents per kWh: $15 million of revenue over 37,272 MWh of sales across 6,168 bundled residential customers, plus 20,122 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy elsewhere, as reported to EIA on Form 861.
How the 40.08c figure is calculated
40.08c/kWh = $14,939k revenue / 37,272 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything Fitchburg Gas & Elec Light Co 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 $401 before taxes.

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.
