Electric utilities serving La Paz County, Arizona
Utilities that list the county in their Form EIA-861 service territory for 2024, with each one's average price, bill and outage minutes.
4 utilities list La Paz County, Arizona, in the service territory they reported to EIA for 2024, the largest by residential customers statewide being Colorado River Indian Irr Proj, McMullen Valley Water C&D Dist and Southern California Edison Co.
None of them has a bundled residential price in EIA's 2024 file, so the Arizona average of 14.91¢ per kilowatthour is the nearest reference.
Southern California Edison Co and WAPA: Western Area Power Administration list the county too but reported no residential sales in Arizona under their own name.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 16,711. 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 Arizona operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
