Where Tesla Inc. sits
It is a smaller system, serving 3,327 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 16.02¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in Delaware, 17.3% under the statewide average of 19.38¢.
Consumption here is below the national norm at 647 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, which softens the effect of the rate on the final bill.
That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.
