Utilities that list the county in their Form EIA-861 service territory for 2024, with each one's average price, bill and outage minutes.
Webster County, Nebraska, appears in the Form EIA-861 service territory of 4 utilities for 2024; Southern Public Power District, South Central Public Pwr Dist and City of Red Cloud are the largest by residential customers statewide.
Their average residential prices ran from 9.21¢ to 9.54¢ per kilowatthour, with a median of 9.38¢, 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.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 3,336. 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.
