La Plata Electric Assn, Inc.
La Plata Electric Assn, Inc. is cooperative serving 39,931 residential customers in Colorado, at an average residential price of 16.71¢ 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 Colorado right now, see the state page, currently 17.13¢.
