Electric utilities serving Maricopa 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.
Maricopa County, Arizona, appears in the Form EIA-861 service territory of 13 utilities for 2024; Arizona Public Service Co, Salt River Project and City of Mesa are the largest by residential customers statewide.
Their average residential prices ran from 13.46¢ to 19.49¢ per kilowatthour, with a median of 16.45¢, against a Arizona average of 14.91¢ and a US average of 16.48¢. Each price is the utility's figure for all of its Arizona customers, not for this county alone.
Electrical Dist No8 Maricopa and WAPA: Western Area Power Administration list the county too but reported no residential sales in Arizona under their own name.
The median SAIDI they reported was 75.8 minutes per customer including major event days; the median among all Arizona utilities reporting was 113.2.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 4,689,558. 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.
