Electric utilities serving Atlantic County, New Jersey
Utilities that list the county in their Form EIA-861 service territory for 2024, with each one's average price, bill and outage minutes.
1 utility list Atlantic County, New Jersey, in the service territory they reported to EIA for 2024: Atlantic City Electric Co.
Its average residential price was 23.41¢ per kilowatthour, against a New Jersey average of 19.34¢ and a US average of 16.48¢. Each price is the utility's figure for all of its New Jersey customers, not for this county alone.
The median SAIDI they reported was 123.0 minutes per customer including major event days; the median among all New Jersey utilities reporting was 174.1.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 278,657. 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 New Jersey operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
