Where Town of Madison sits
It is a smaller system, serving 2,413 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 15.16¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in Maine, 47% under the statewide average of 28.63¢.
Consumption here is below the national norm at 672 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, which softens the effect of the rate on the final bill.
Owned by the city it serves and governed by a local board rather than the state commission. No shareholder return is built into the rate. 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.
