Finding Your Supply Rate

Updated: 05/04/2023

The most important piece of information that you will need when comparing retail electricity providers is the electricity supply rate that you are currently paying. With all of the information, numbers, and extra details on your utility bill, finding your supply rate can sometimes be confusing. To eliminate this confusion, we've provided you with a few samples of bills from major utilities in deregulated areas across the nation.

The supply rate is always expressed in cents. The rate is multiplied by your electric usage, which is expressed in kilowatt hours (kWh), to determine your total charge for electric supply. You'll see that the supply rate is different from the delivery rate charges on your bill. Unlike supply, you cannot shop around for your delivery which will always be carried out by your default utility.
