Commercial or industrial billings are generally determined by the level of demand and consumption of electricity rather than by consumer economic activity.

Average monthly consumption in kilowatthours is calculated by dividing the megawatthours by 12(months), dividing the results by the number of consumers, and multiplying by 1000(to convert to kilowatthours).

The average revenue is calculated by dividing the revenue by the megawatthours, then multiplying by 100 (to convert to dollars and cents).

The average monthly bill is calculated by dividing the revenue by 12(months), dividing the result by the number of consumers, and multiplying by 1000(to convert to dollars and cents).

Estimated Average Revenue per Kilowatthour for All Sectors at Electric Utilities by State, 2000 Note:
• Estimates are preliminary.
• The average revenue per kilowatthour of electricity sold is calculated by dividing revenue by sales.
• Values for average revenue per kilowatthour do not account for all energy service providers. Consequently, the growth in sales is underestimated (in particular for the commercial and industrial sectors). This, in turn, may affect the rates of associated revenue to sales of electricity.

kWh = Kilowatthour.
