Electric utilities serving Crittenden County, Arkansas
Utilities that list the county in their Form EIA-861 service territory for 2024, with each one's average price, bill and outage minutes.
Crittenden County, Arkansas, appears in the Form EIA-861 service territory of 3 utilities for 2024; Entergy Arkansas LLC, Craighead Electric Coop Corp and City of West Memphis are the largest by residential customers statewide.
Their average residential prices ran from 8.08¢ to 12.97¢ per kilowatthour, with a median of 11.99¢, against a Arkansas average of 12.32¢ and a US average of 16.48¢. Each price is the utility's figure for all of its Arkansas customers, not for this county alone.
The median SAIDI they reported was 276.5 minutes per customer including major event days; the median among all Arkansas utilities reporting was 323.7.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 46,210. 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 Arkansas operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
