Capabilities

Tools 3

check_electric_bill

Compare one U.S. household's monthly electricity use and price with similar homes (same state climate, home size, household size, and month). Returns the usage percentile, the typical kWh range, the rate vs. the state or utility average, the dollar gap to a typical home, the estimated share going to air conditioning or heating that month, and likely causes. Data: U.S. EIA monthly retail sales, EIA Form 861, and the EIA Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS). Statistical comparison, not a bill audit.

Discovered
find_utility_rate

Search U.S. electric utilities and retail providers by name or initials (e.g. 'PG&E', 'Oncor', 'Duke Energy') and return each one's average residential price per kWh and customer count from EIA Form 861. These are what residential customers paid on average over the year, not current plan offers.

Discovered
get_state_electricity_stats

Average residential electricity price (cents per kWh), monthly use, monthly bill, and 1- and 5-year price change for a U.S. state, D.C., or the U.S. overall, over the latest 12 months of EIA data. Omit `state` to get all 50 states and D.C., sorted by price.
