City of Griffin
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 Griffin is a municipal utility that reported 13,594 residential customers in Georgia on Form EIA-861 for 2024, with a service territory that touches 3 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 15.00¢ per kilowatthour, 6.5% above the Georgia average of 14.08¢ and 9.0% 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 $148.42 a month on average use of 989 kWh a month. Across Georgia the average bill was $151.25 on 1,074 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.

The average price is up 21.7% on 2019, against up 19.7% for Georgia as a whole, and up 2.1% on 2023.
