Where Tesla Inc. sits
It is a smaller system, serving 12,391 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. Its 12.29¢ per kilowatt-hour sits 9.6% below the Nevada average of 13.60¢.
Consumption here is below the national norm at 689 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.
