Mountain Electric Coop, Inc.
Mountain Electric Coop, Inc. is cooperative serving 15,491 residential customers in North Carolina, at an average residential price of 12.51¢ 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 North Carolina right now, see the state page, currently 14.74¢.
