Appalachian Power Co
Appalachian Power Co is investor owned serving 348,946 residential customers in West Virginia, at an average residential price of 16.77¢ per kilowatt-hour.
That price is derived, and it is annual. It is total residential revenue divided by total residential sales in EIA’s 2024 survey — not a tariff, and not this month’s rate. For what a kilowatt-hour costs in West Virginia right now, see the state page, currently 15.45¢.
