Figures are each utility's 2024 statewide filing to EIA, the smallest grain EIA publishes. Bills and per-kWh prices are computed by CheckedHome from EIA revenue and sales; outage figures are each utility's own report. n/r means the utility did not file that metric with EIA, which is common for smaller cooperatives; it does not mean zero outages.

Self-reported
Utilities report these figures to EIA themselves; EIA does not audit every submission, and outages from recent months appear only in the next annual release. Major storm days
Outage figures can be shown with or without Major Event Days (severe storms). We show both on utility pages and never cherry-pick. A correction?
We republish the official record verbatim. If a figure looks wrong, see Corrections; we re-check it against EIA.
We show EIA values as published, reformatting only for a consistent house style. How we display these figures.
