Cleveland Electric Illum Co Electricity Rate per kWh (2024 EIA Data)
Investor Owned|EIA utility 3755|Ohio|Bundled + Delivery
In 2024, Cleveland Electric Illum Co's residential customers paid an average of 16.76 cents per kWh: $163 million of revenue over 971,325 MWh of sales across 131,370 bundled residential customers, plus 544,728 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy elsewhere, as reported to EIA on Form 861.
How the 16.76c figure is calculated
16.76c/kWh = $162,787k revenue / 971,325 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything Cleveland Electric Illum 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 $168 before taxes.
About Cleveland Electric Illum Co's 2024 electricity prices
Cleveland Electric Illum Co is an investor-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 3755. In 2024 it served 131,370 bundled residential customers in Ohio (plus 544,728 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 16.76 cents per kWh: $163 million of residential revenue divided by 971,325 MWh of residential sales.
Across the other sectors, Cleveland Electric Illum Co's 2024 average prices were 18.59 cents for commercial customers (11,225 accounts) and 13.75 cents for industrial customers (62 accounts). Industrial customers paid 3.01 cents less per kWh than households, a 18% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service. Ohio allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 131,370 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 16.76 cents per kWh, while 544,728 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid Cleveland Electric Illum Co only for delivery, which averaged 7.81 cents per kWh for the wires portion.
Within Ohio, Cleveland Electric Illum Co ranked number 4 of 37 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (676,098, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 10.43% 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 15.99 cents per kWh, so Cleveland Electric Illum Co's customers paid 0.77 cents above the Ohio average (+4.8%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for Ohio is 19.19 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 Cleveland Electric Illum Co in 9 Ohio counties: Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, Summit, and Trumbull. On the grid side it operates in the RFC NERC region and the PJM Interconnection market, and reported distribution and wholesale marketing as its activities. Balancing authority code: PJM.

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.
