About this ranking
Revenue from electricity sold to residential customers (households), in millions of current US dollars, as reported by utilities and other retailers to the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Form EIA-861.
Current dollars, not adjusted for inflation. Where customers buy energy from one company and delivery from another, both charges are counted. This is a revenue total, not an average price (see electricity_price_residential). Published in thousand dollars; shown in millions.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
