OSTI ID:7308308
This report is the 42nd in the Federal Power Commission's series of 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. Tables 1 to 9 present long-term trends and current levels of average electric bills for residential, commercial, and industrial service for the total United States, for each State and the District of Columbia, and for nine geographic regions. The detailed information on bills for the three types of service in the individual communities as of January 1, 1976, is shown in tables 10, 11 and 12. The information on bills for residential service is supplemented in table 13 with the latest statistics on average annual residential use of electricity in all large cities. The data are based upon the 1970 United States census data.
