Enter your ZIP code above. We list every utility that serves part of that ZIP. If several appear, your bill or your street address decides which one is yours. In deregulated states, retail providers licensed in your state appear too.

Only in deregulated markets: most of Texas, plus Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, DC, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine. Elsewhere your utility is set by your address. There you save money by choosing a cheaper rate plan from your utility, such as time-of-use, or by using less. How deregulation works.

It is SAIDI, the total minutes the average customer was without power in a year, including major storms, as reported to EIA. Lower is better. The U.S. average is a few hours a year, and big storms can push a utility far higher in a single year.

We show the average all-in rate: total residential revenue divided by kWh sold. It includes customer charges, delivery and fuel adjustments, so it is usually higher than the energy charge printed on a bill. It is the right number for comparing what companies really cost.
