Common questions about Tucson Electric Power Co rates
- How much does Tucson Electric Power Co charge per kWh?
- Tucson Electric Power Co reported an average residential price of 15.63¢ 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 Tucson Electric Power Co expensive compared with the rest of Arizona?

- What is the average electricity bill for Tucson Electric Power Co customers?
- Dividing reported residential sales by residential customers gives about 9,604 kWh per customer per year. At the reported average price that implies roughly $1,501 a year, or about $125 a month. This is RateWatt's arithmetic on two EIA columns, not a figure EIA publishes.
