How the 28.26c figure is calculated

28.26c/kWh = $647,603k revenue / 2,291,381 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything The Narragansett Electric 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 $283 before taxes.

About The Narragansett Electric Co's 2024 electricity prices

The Narragansett Electric Co is an investor-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 13214. In 2024 it served 332,540 bundled residential customers in Rhode Island (plus 118,841 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 28.26 cents per kWh: $648 million of residential revenue divided by 2.29 million MWh of residential sales.

Across the other sectors, The Narragansett Electric Co's 2024 average prices were 23.17 cents for commercial customers (34,977 accounts) and 25.92 cents for industrial customers (926 accounts). Industrial customers paid 2.34 cents less per kWh than households, a 8% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service. Rhode Island allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 332,540 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 28.26 cents per kWh, while 118,841 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid The Narragansett Electric Co only for delivery, which averaged 15.19 cents per kWh for the wires portion.

Within Rhode Island, The Narragansett Electric Co ranked number 1 of 3 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (451,381, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 97.30% 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 28.65 cents per kWh, so The Narragansett Electric Co's customers paid 0.39 cents below the Rhode Island average (-1.4%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for Rhode Island is 29.23 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 The Narragansett Electric Co in 5 Rhode Island counties: Bristol, Kent, Newport, Providence, and Washington. On the grid side it operates in the NPCC NERC region and the ISO New England market, and reported distribution as its activities. Balancing authority code: ISNE.

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.
