Cleveland Electric Illum Co
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.
Cleveland Electric Illum Co is an investor-owned utility that reported 676,098 residential customers in Ohio on Form EIA-861 for 2024, with a service territory that touches 9 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 16.76¢ per kilowatthour, 4.8% above the Ohio average of 15.99¢ and about the same as 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 $103.26 a month on average use of 616 kWh a month. Across Ohio the average bill was $135.16 on 846 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
The price covers the 131,370 residential customers on bundled service. A further 544,728 take delivery only and buy their energy from another supplier; EIA collects just part of their bill from this respondent, so they are left out of the average.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 1,918.1 minutes per customer with major event days included and 150.0 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Ohio utilities reporting was 226.9 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 745% above that median.
The average price is up 34.6% on 2019, against up 29.2% for Ohio as a whole, and up 16.4% 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: 1.5 TWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 1.5 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 4,065 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 1.78 interruptions per customer with major event days, 1.11 without; CAIDI 1,075.8 minutes per interruption. EIA's Ohio total across all reporting utilities was 510.5 minutes with major event days and 133.2 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.
