Public Power & Utility of Maryland, LLC
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.
Public Power & Utility of Maryland, LLC is a retail power marketer that reported 2,697 residential customers in Maryland on Form EIA-861 for 2024.
It sells energy only: another company delivers the power and bills for delivery, so the revenue it reports to EIA covers part of each customer's bill. Its energy-only revenue came to 11.10¢ per kilowatthour in 2024, which is not comparable with the bundled Maryland average of 17.86¢.
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.

Sales by sector, 2024

| Commercial | 477 | 31.6 GWh | 67% | $4,431,100 | — |
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: 47 GWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 47 GWh was bought wholesale.
