Electric utilities serving Toole County, Montana
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 Toole County, Montana, in the service territory they reported to EIA for 2024, the largest by residential customers statewide being Glacier Electric Coop, Inc, Sun River Electric Coop, Inc and Marias River Electric Coop Inc.
None of them has a bundled residential price in EIA's 2024 file, so the Montana average of 12.66¢ per kilowatthour is the nearest reference.
WAPA: Western Area Power Administration lists the county too but reported no residential sales in Montana under its own name.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 5,211. 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 Montana operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
