- Cleco Power LLC reported an average residential price of 12.33¢ per kWh across its bundled residential customers in the 2024 EIA Form 861 release.

- What is the average electricity bill for Cleco Power LLC customers?
- Dividing reported residential sales by residential customers gives about 14,599 kWh per customer per year. At the reported average price that implies roughly $1,800 a year, or about $150 a month. This is RateWatt's arithmetic on two EIA columns, not a figure EIA publishes.
