OSTI ID:6452807

This report is a continuation of reports previously published by the Federal Power Commission from the annual ''Typical Electric Bills'' surveys. These surveys provide comprehensive coverage of the cost to consumers for representative amounts of electricity used per month for residential, commercial and industrial service in all sections of the Nation. Bills for residential electric service are reported for five different energy consumption levels in all communities with populations of 2,500 or more. For commercial and industrial service, bills are presented for all large cities. Commercial bills are shown for five combinations of billing demands in kilowatts (kW) and monthly consumption levels in kilowatt-hours (kWh); industrial bills cover five billing demands and ten consumption levels. This report does not attempt to evaluate the many factors that produce differences in the level of bills (as, for example, the proximity of fuel sources, type and size of prime mover used in generation, customer density and utility ownership). The purpose of the report is to inform the public and the industry concerning the cost of standard quantities of electricity to business and residential customers in communities throughout the United States. 11 tabs.
