Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.
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.
In its Form EIA-861 filing for 2024, Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., an investor-owned utility, reported 1,532,294 residential customers in New York, with a service territory that touches 37 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 17.22¢ per kilowatthour, 30% below the New York average of 24.43¢ and 4.5% 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 $109.74 a month on average use of 637 kWh a month. Across New York the average bill was $139.53 on 571 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
The price covers the 1,430,208 residential customers on bundled service. A further 102,086 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 510.1 minutes per customer with major event days included and 140.7 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among New York utilities reporting was 63.5 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 703% above that median.
The average price is up 37.3% on 2019, against up 36.2% for New York as a whole, and up 1.5% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 19.89¢.

Sales by sector, 2024

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 1,532,294 | 11.8 TWh | 36% | $1,972,635,400 | 17.22¢ |

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: 18 TWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 18 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 6,019 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 1.69 interruptions per customer with major event days, 1.05 without; CAIDI 301.1 minutes per interruption. EIA's New York total across all reporting utilities was 219.9 minutes with major event days and 72.0 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.
