Lehi City Corporation electricity rates

It is a smaller system, serving 27,459 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 10.95¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in Utah, 15.5% under the statewide average of 12.96¢.

Consumption is close to the national norm at 805 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, so the rate translates fairly directly into the 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.

In 2024 the average Lehi City Corporation customer went 42 minutes without electricity across 0.43 interruptions. The median across the 941 utilities that report this is 185 minutes.

That is markedly better than typical. Short outage durations usually mean an underground or heavily automated network, and they are expensive to achieve, which is part of why reliable systems often carry higher delivery charges.

990 residential customers had net-metered solar in 2024, totalling 6.91 megawatts. That works out to 36.1 installations per thousand customers, against a median of 8 across the utilities reporting it.

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.
