Kay Electric Coop
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.
Kay Electric Coop is an electric cooperative that reported 4,371 residential customers in Oklahoma on Form EIA-861 for 2024, with a service territory that touches 5 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 14.13¢ per kilowatthour, 15% above the Oklahoma average of 12.24¢ and 14% 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 $142.21 a month on average use of 1,007 kWh a month. Across Oklahoma the average bill was $132.05 on 1,079 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 up 12.9% on 2019, against up 19.9% for Oklahoma as a whole, and up 8.4% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 14.82¢.

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: 442.8 GWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 442.8 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 81 MW.
