What does Residential All Electric Service cost a year?
| Household | Uses | Per year | Works out to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment One or two people, no central air, no electric heat | 4,866 kWh | $1,149 | 23.6¢ / kWh |
| Family home Three or four people with central air conditioning | 9,453 kWh | $1,762 | 18.6¢ / kWh |
| Home with an EV Same house, plus an electric car charging overnight | 13,103 kWh | $2,245 | 17.1¢ / kWh |
Estimates, not quotes. We run three made-up but realistic households through this tariff hour by hour for a full year — including the way air conditioning loads the afternoon and an EV loads the small hours. Your own bill depends on when you actually use electricity, which is exactly the thing a per-kWh number hides.
What you actually pay
| Period | Rate | Applies when |
|---|---|---|
| peak | 13.60¢ | midnight–midnight, June–October |
| off-peak | 13.01¢ up to 1000 kWh12.29¢ | midnight–midnight, November–May |
Plus a fixed charge of $42 per month.
Should you be on Residential All Electric Service?
The hour of day does not change what you pay here — the month does. Running the same house through the full year, July costs about $191 and February about $120. That $72 swing is part rate and part weather, and it is the reason a budget built on your spring bill will break in July.
Before a single kilowatt-hour moves, this plan charges $504 a year in fixed fees. On the apartment above that is 44% of the whole bill; on the house with a car charging in it, 22%. Fixed charges are invisible in a cents-per-kWh comparison and they punish small users hardest — if you use very little electricity, the headline rate is the least important number on this page.
