The state's range runs from Surprise Valley Electrification at 13.14¢ to San Diego Gas & Electric Co at 43.63¢, so where a household sits inside California depends far more on which utility serves it than on the statewide average alone.

Scale and consumption

Modesto Irrigation District reported 103.7K residential customers, ranking 10th of 39 utilities in California by customers served and covering 1.1% of the state's reported residential customers.

Dividing reported residential sales by customers served gives about 9,697 kWh per customer per year - near the national residential norm, implying a typical annual bill near $2,112.

Within California the median reporting utility sells about 6,688 kWh per customer, so Modesto Irrigation District customers use +45.0% against their own state's middle. Consumption this heavy usually tracks electric heating, sustained air-conditioning load or a largely detached-housing territory, which makes the price per kWh bite harder here than the headline rate suggests.
