Average residential price, 2024. Dial position: 76% of 1,230 US utilities had this price or lower. Ticks: Georgia 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.

Georgia Power Co is an investor-owned utility that reported 2,452,488 residential customers in Georgia on Form EIA-861 for 2024, with a service territory that touches 155 counties.

Its average residential price that year was 15.49¢ per kilowatthour, 10% above the Georgia average of 14.08¢ and 6.0% 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 $153.24 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.

For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 1,516.2 minutes per customer with major event days included and 127.9 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Georgia utilities reporting was 392.5 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 286% above that median.

The average price is up 28.0% on 2019, against up 19.7% for Georgia as a whole, and up 6.0% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 16.28¢.

Sales by sector, 2024

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: 95.8 TWh in total, of which 67.9% was its own net generation and 30.8 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 16,555 MW.

Reliability

SAIDI, all events1,516.2 min

SAIDI, without major event days127.9 min

Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 2.07 interruptions per customer with major event days, 1.02 without; CAIDI 732.4 minutes per interruption. EIA's Georgia total across all reporting utilities was 1,229.1 minutes with major event days and 212.3 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.
