How the 18.76c figure is calculated

18.76c/kWh = $449,136k revenue / 2,393,943 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything Rochester Gas & Electric Corp 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 $188 before taxes.

About Rochester Gas & Electric Corp's 2024 electricity prices

Rochester Gas & Electric Corp is an investor-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 16183. In 2024 it served 294,053 bundled residential customers in New York (plus 57,428 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 18.76 cents per kWh: $449 million of residential revenue divided by 2.39 million MWh of residential sales.

Across the other sectors, Rochester Gas & Electric Corp's 2024 average prices were 14.84 cents for commercial customers (21,739 accounts) and 12.98 cents for industrial customers (227 accounts). Industrial customers paid 5.78 cents less per kWh than households, a 31% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service. New York allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 294,053 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 18.76 cents per kWh, while 57,428 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid Rochester Gas & Electric Corp only for delivery, which averaged 12.39 cents per kWh for the wires portion.

Within New York, Rochester Gas & Electric Corp ranked number 5 of 15 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (351,481, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 5.59% 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 Rochester Gas & Electric Corp's customers paid 5.67 cents below the New York average (-23.2%). 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.

EIA's service-territory file places Rochester Gas & Electric Corp in 7 New York counties: Allegany, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Wayne, and Wyoming. On the grid side it operates in the NPCC NERC region and the NYISO market, and reported generation, transmission, buying transmission, distribution, buying distribution, wholesale marketing, and retail marketing as its activities. Balancing authority code: NYIS.

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.
