Rate against consumption: Indiana utilities

Each dot is one of the 46 Indiana utilities reporting both a residential price and residential sales in 2024, placed by its rank percentile within that group rather than its raw value, so one very large utility cannot flatten the rest. Bubble size follows customers served, rank-scaled so a utility with millions of customers cannot swamp the rest. Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co is highlighted. In Indiana the cheapest rate belongs to City of Auburn - (IN) (8.52¢) while the smallest implied annual bill belongs to City of Mishawaka ($742) - a household's bill is price multiplied by consumption, so the two rankings are different lists. 2×2 strategic matrix plotting 46 entities by Price rank percentile (100 = most expensive in state) (X) and Consumption rank percentile (100 = heaviest use) (Y), with a crosshair dividing the plot into four quadrants.

How much does Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co charge per kWh?
Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co reported an average residential price of 19.09¢ per kWh across its bundled residential customers in the 2024 EIA Form 861 release. That is an annual average across all its residential customers, not a rate schedule, so an individual bill depends on the tariff, usage pattern and season.
Is Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co expensive compared with the rest of Indiana?

What is the average electricity bill for Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co customers?
Dividing reported residential sales by residential customers gives about 7,906 kWh per customer per year. At the reported average price that implies roughly $1,509 a year, or about $126 a month. This is RateWatt's arithmetic on two EIA columns, not a figure EIA publishes.
Who owns Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co?
EIA classifies Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co as Investor Owned, a shareholder-owned company whose retail rates are set through a state regulatory commission. Nationally, the customer-weighted average across Investor Owned utilities was 18.37¢ per kWh in the 2024 Form 861 release.
