City of Lansing
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.
In its Form EIA-861 filing for 2024, City of Lansing, a municipal utility, reported 87,301 residential customers in Michigan, with a service territory that touches 3 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 19.78¢ per kilowatthour, about the same as the Michigan average of 19.30¢ and 20% above 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 $101.76 a month on average use of 514 kWh a month. Across Michigan the average bill was $119.31 on 618 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 91.9 minutes per customer with major event days included and 91.9 minutes with them excluded, calculated under another method. The median among Michigan utilities reporting was 261.6 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 65% below that median.
The average price is up 25.0% on 2019, against up 22.6% for Michigan as a whole, and little changed on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 19.44¢.

Sales by sector, 2024
| Sector | Customers | Sales | Share of sales | Revenue | ¢ per kWh, bundled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 87,301 | 539 GWh | 27% | $106,606,000 | 19.78¢ |
| Commercial | 12,116 | 970.9 GWh | 48% | $158,172,000 | 16.29¢ |
| Industrial | 232 | 502.9 GWh | 25% | $67,691,000 | 13.46¢ |
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: 2.7 TWh in total, of which 51.6% was its own net generation and 1.3 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 448 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under another method. SAIFI: 0.86 interruptions per customer with major event days, 0.86 without; CAIDI 106.4 minutes per interruption. EIA's Michigan total across all reporting utilities was 470.4 minutes with major event days and 160.1 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
