Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1976

OSTI ID:7313455

This report is the 41st 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. The average bills are based upon the 1970 United States census data. 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.
