Where City of Farmington sits
It is a smaller system, serving 7,250 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 10.22¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in Missouri, 25.3% under the statewide average of 13.68¢.
Its customers use more electricity than the national norm, 1,068 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.

Rooftop solar on this system
20 residential customers had net-metered solar in 2024, totalling 0.19 megawatts. That works out to 2.8 installations per thousand customers, against a median of 8 across the utilities reporting it.
Adoption is below the national median. A low retail rate reduces what solar displaces, and export compensation set at avoided cost rather than the retail rate reduces it further. What exports are actually worth.
