Bubble size follows customers served, rank-scaled so a utility with millions of customers cannot swamp the rest. Orlando Utilities Comm is highlighted. In Florida the cheapest rate and the smallest implied annual bill happen to belong to the same utility, Tesla Inc.; across the country they usually do not. 2×2 strategic matrix plotting 41 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.

Orlando Utilities Comm reported an average residential price of 15.24¢ per kWh across its bundled residential customers in the 2024 EIA Form 861 release.

What is the average electricity bill for Orlando Utilities Comm customers?
Dividing reported residential sales by residential customers gives about 11,806 kWh per customer per year. At the reported average price that implies roughly $1,799 a year, or about $150 a month. This is RateWatt's arithmetic on two EIA columns, not a figure EIA publishes.
