Greer Commission of Public Wks
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.
Greer Commission of Public Wks serves 24,893 residential customers in South Carolina as a municipal utility, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 2 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 11.80¢ per kilowatthour, 17% below the South Carolina average of 14.23¢ and 28% 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 $96.81 a month on average use of 820 kWh a month. Across South Carolina the average bill was $149.51 on 1,050 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.

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: 464.5 GWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 464.5 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 114 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under another method. SAIFI: 0.48 interruptions per customer with major event days; CAIDI 110.5 minutes per interruption. EIA's South Carolina total across all reporting utilities was 3,136.5 minutes with major event days and 117.8 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.
