Reading the numbers
- How the average price is computed: revenue divided by sales, and what that includes.
- Why a bill differs from the rate schedule: fixed charges, tiers, riders and use.
- What SAIDI and SAIFI mean: outage minutes, outage counts and major event days.
- Retail choice in EIA data: bundled, energy-only and delivery-only service.
