The report card
Electric utility rankings
We took the numbers utilities report to the federal government — and the profits their parents report to the SEC — and ranked them. No utility funds this, and we cite every figure, so you can check our work and find your own utility in the tables.
Which utilities leave you in the dark the most
Wheeling Power — ~661.1 min/yr without power (normal day)
28 utilities ranked on storm-excluded outage time. Federal EIA-861 data.
Which utilities shut off the most customers
Appalachian Power (APCo) — ~18.6 shutoffs per 100 customers
26 utilities ranked on residential disconnections per 100 customers. Federal EIA-112 data.
Where your electric bill profit goes
Parent profits up to $4.5 billion (Duke Energy), FY2024
What the parent companies earned, and the ~9.5–10.5% return regulators authorize. SEC 10-K data.
