Computed as revenue ÷ total sales from City of Niles’s own EIA-861 filings, 2020–2024. Not adjusted for inflation. This provider files EIA’s short form, which reports all customer classes together — the figure is an all-customer average and sits below what a household actually pays. See where that ranks.
Your rates are set by the Niles City Council, which approves all rate tariffs
Municipal electric utilities are outside MPSC rate regulation. Rates are set locally, in public meetings of the governing board or city council.
What you can do
There is no public rate docket to comment on. Rate decisions happen at the Niles City Council, which approves all rate tariffs, whose meetings are where a rate concern belongs.
When they meet: The advisory Board of Public Utilities meets the third Monday of the month at 4:00 p.m. in the City Hall first-floor conference room, and advises the Council on electric matters. Source
