City of South Sioux City
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 South Sioux City serves 5,217 residential customers in Nebraska 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 12.90¢ per kilowatthour, 12% above the Nebraska average of 11.53¢ and 22% 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 $100.46 a month on average use of 779 kWh a month. Across Nebraska the average bill was $110.28 on 956 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 little changed on 2019, against up 7.1% for Nebraska as a whole, and up 3.1% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 12.91¢.
