Where Greenwood Utilities Comm sits
It is a smaller system, serving 7,204 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 11.27¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in Mississippi, 30.3% under the statewide average of 16.16¢.
Its customers use more electricity than the national norm, 1,077 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, which amplifies whatever the rate does.
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.
