Average residential price, 2024. Dial position: 89% of 1,230 US utilities had this price or lower. Ticks: Pennsylvania and US averages.

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.

FirstEnergy Pennsylvania Electric Co serves 1,806,012 residential customers in Pennsylvania and 1 other state as an investor-owned utility, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 57 counties.

Its average residential price that year was 17.37¢ per kilowatthour, about the same as the Pennsylvania average of 17.77¢ and 5.4% 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 $148.80 a month on average use of 857 kWh a month. Across Pennsylvania the average bill was $145.17 on 817 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.

The price covers the 1,467,409 residential customers on bundled service. A further 338,603 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 402.6 minutes per customer with major event days included and 220.5 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Pennsylvania utilities reporting was 212.0 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 90% above that median.
