One final annual snapshot, four distinct measures

Average retail price is EIA’s 2024 all-sector average in cents per kilowatthour. It is not a residential rate or a current tariff. Capacity, generation, and retail sales are state totals; selected-state bars are scaled against one another while the U.S. total stays explicit beside the chart.

  • Net summer capacity is maximum net output available at summer peak demand; it is not nameplate capacity. Net generation subtracts electricity used at generating stations.
  • No forecasts, planned retirements, load-growth estimates, or market-regulation classifications are included.
  • No state totals are converted into per-capita or per-capacity measures.
  • The national 12.94¢/kWh value is the table value and is corroborated by EIA Annual Table 2.10; 12.68 is the 2023 value.
  • EIA publishes U.S. capacity as 1,230,416 MW; adding the displayed rounded state/DC rows gives 1,230,420 MW. This sample retains EIA’s published national total.

Make your own table easier to explore.

A small pilot adapts this format to one clean public or licensed table: up to 100 rows and four numeric measures. Receive portable HTML files, a responsive comparison, an exact-value table, CSV export, source notes, data and browser checks, and one correction round.

Built with AI-assisted coding; outputs are checked against your agreed input. You confirm reuse rights and final wording. Live feeds, forecasting, substantial data cleanup, CMS installation, ongoing hosting and formal compliance certification are outside this pilot.
