Salt River Project Electricity Rates

How this price compares

Ranked by price against the 26 utilities reporting residential rates in Arizona, Salt River Project comes 13th of 26. The state's range runs from Palmetto Solar, LLC at 8.86¢ to USBIA-San Carlos Project at 19.49¢, so where a household sits inside Arizona depends far more on which utility serves it than on the statewide average alone.

Against the 2 other political subdivision utilities reporting in Arizona, which averaged 13.60¢, Salt River Project is close to its own ownership class within the state (-1.0%).

All figures come from the 2024 release, so no comparison mixes vintages. The state figure is customer-weighted across 26 reporting utilities.

Scale and consumption

Salt River Project reported 1.1M residential customers, ranking 2nd of 26 utilities in Arizona by customers served and covering 32.9% of the state's reported residential customers.

Dividing reported residential sales by customers served gives about 14,532 kWh per customer per year - well above the national residential norm, implying a typical annual bill near $1,956.

Within Arizona the median reporting utility sells about 11,839 kWh per customer, so Salt River Project customers use +22.7% 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.
