Electric utilities serving Boone County, Nebraska
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 Boone County, Nebraska, in the service territory they reported to EIA for 2024, the largest by residential customers statewide being Loup River Public Power Dist, Cornhusker Public Power Dist and Elkhorn Rural Public Pwr Dist.
Their average residential prices ran from 9.41¢ to 10.84¢ per kilowatthour, with a median of 10.59¢, against a Nebraska average of 11.53¢ and a US average of 16.48¢. Each price is the utility's figure for all of its Nebraska customers, not for this county alone.
WAPA: Western Area Power Administration lists the county too but reported no residential sales in Nebraska under its own name.
The median SAIDI they reported was 169.6 minutes per customer including major event days; the median among all Nebraska utilities reporting was 138.3.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 5,355. 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 Nebraska operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
