Electric utilities serving North Slope Borough, Alaska
Utilities that list the county in their Form EIA-861 service territory for 2024, with each one's average price, bill and outage minutes.
North Slope Borough, Alaska, appears in the Form EIA-861 service territory of 3 utilities for 2024; Barrow Utils & Elec Coop, Inc, North Slope Borough Power & Light and TDX North Slope Generating Co are the largest by residential customers statewide.
None of them has a bundled residential price in EIA's 2024 file, so the Alaska average of 24.82¢ per kilowatthour is the nearest reference.
TDX North Slope Generating Co lists the county too but reported no residential sales in Alaska under its own name.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 10,582. EIA does not publish customers by county, so which utility serves a given address has to be confirmed with the utility or the state utility commission.
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Figures are for each utility's whole Alaska operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
