Paulding-Putman Elec Coop, Inc
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, Paulding-Putman Elec Coop, Inc, an electric cooperative, reported 13,027 residential customers in Ohio and 1 other state, with a service territory that touches 7 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 16.56¢ per kilowatthour, 3.6% above the Ohio average of 15.99¢ and about the same as 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 $180.03 a month on average use of 1,087 kWh a month. Across Ohio the average bill was $135.16 on 846 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 29.2% on 2019, against up 29.2% for Ohio as a whole, and up 14.9% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 16.69¢.

Bundled residential service only in the price, bill and use columns. Bill = residential revenue ÷ customers ÷ 12; use = residential sales ÷ customers ÷ 12. EIA describes its early release as not fully edited; it is shown for this utility alone and enters no average, median or rank on this site.

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: 376 GWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 376 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 68 MW.
