City of Alexandria
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. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
City of Alexandria serves 19,541 residential customers in Louisiana as a municipal utility, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 1 county.
Its average residential price that year was 11.10¢ per kilowatthour, 5.4% below the Louisiana average of 11.73¢ and 33% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $131.91 a month on average use of 1,188 kWh a month. Across Louisiana the average bill was $140.96 on 1,202 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
EIA's reliability file has no SAIDI or SAIFI entry for it in 2024; smaller respondents and energy-only suppliers are not asked for one.
The average price is up 10.9% on 2019, against up 19.7% for Louisiana as a whole, and down 14.2% on 2023.

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 798.7 GWh in total, of which 12.8% was its own net generation and 696.8 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 159 MW.
Reliability
EIA's reliability file has no entry for City of Alexandria in 2024. Energy-only suppliers do not own the wires, and the smallest distribution utilities are not asked for SAIDI and SAIFI.
Generation at plants it operates, 2025
- Natural gas 100% 90.6 GWh
Net generation of 90.6 GWh at power plants this utility operates, from Form EIA-923. It is not the mix delivered to customers: utilities also buy power wholesale (696.8 GWh in 2024), sell generation to others and may co-own plants that another company operates.
Counties in its service territory
