Long Island Power Authority Electricity Rate per kWh (2024 EIA Data)

Long Island Power Authority is a state-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 11171. In 2024 it served 1,029,943 bundled residential customers in New York (plus 12 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 24.57 cents per kWh: $2,243 million of residential revenue divided by 9.13 million MWh of residential sales.

Across the other sectors, Long Island Power Authority's 2024 average prices were 21.46 cents for commercial customers (131,220 accounts) and 14.79 cents for transportation customers (1 accounts). New York allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 1,029,943 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 24.57 cents per kWh, while 12 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid Long Island Power Authority only for delivery, which averaged 16.49 cents per kWh for the wires portion.

Within New York, Long Island Power Authority ranked number 3 of 15 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (1,029,955, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 17.95% 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 24.43 cents per kWh, so Long Island Power Authority's customers paid 0.14 cents above the New York average (+0.6%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for New York is 29.49 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.
