Electric utilities serving Gadsden County, Florida
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 Gadsden County, Florida, in the service territory they reported to EIA for 2024, the largest by residential customers statewide being Talquin Electric Coop, Inc, City of Quincy and Havana Power & Light Company.
Its average residential price was 14.85¢ per kilowatthour, against a Florida average of 14.14¢ and a US average of 16.48¢. Each price is the utility's figure for all of its Florida customers, not for this county alone.
The median SAIDI they reported was 2,516.7 minutes per customer including major event days; the median among all Florida utilities reporting was 723.1.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 44,298. 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 Florida operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
