Where City of Vineland sits
It is a smaller system, serving 22,774 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 17.84¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in New Jersey, 23.3% under the statewide average of 23.27¢.
Consumption here is below the national norm at 767 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.

Adoption here is exceptionally high. That usually means some combination of a high retail rate worth displacing, strong sunshine and favourable export rules, and it tends to bring its own regulatory argument about who covers the fixed cost of the network. What exports are actually worth.
