About kWhBill
kWhBill is an independent public data project dedicated to making United States electricity pricing clear, accessible, and mathematically verifiable.
Our Purpose
Searching for electricity prices online often leads to aggressive retail broker sites, affiliate switching funnels, or outdated comparison tables. Finding a plain, factual answer to questions like "What is the average electricity rate in my state?" or "What does 1,000 kWh approximately cost?" shouldn't require surrendering a phone number or ZIP code to sales reps.
kWhBill exists to provide an objective, query-native interface over official federal energy statistics. We publish verifiable baseline facts without sales spin or broker bias.
Principles We Follow
- Authoritative Data Only: Underlying published data is sourced from official government datasets, with source provenance documented on state pages and Methodology.
- Deterministic Calculations: Our cost estimates use verifiable formulas without hidden adjustments or opaque algorithms.
- Clear Evidence Boundaries: We explicitly distinguish statistical averages from utility tariffs, individual contracts, and actual customer bills. We never claim a statistical average is an individual billing quote.
- Static & Fast: The site is built with a static-first, lightweight architecture for rapid loading and maximum accessibility.
Project Governance & Updates
kWhBill is maintained as part of the public-data information engineering research initiative at data-pseo-factory. Data snapshots are updated as official EIA retail sales series publish regular monthly updates.
