How Alabama Power’s plans work
FD (Family Dwelling Service). In July the first 1,000 kWh a month cost 16.4¢ each; then 16.6¢ above 1,000 kWh a month. An average Alabama home (1,517 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $16.00 a month.
RTA (Residential Time Advantage (Energy)). Peak 1 pm–7 pm on July weekdays; 6 of 24 hours carry the top price of 33.1¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 13.1¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 20.0¢. January weekdays range from 12.8¢ to 14.8¢. Weekends differ: off-peak all day. Fixed charge: $26.50 a month.
Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.
As a cross-check, Alabama Power billed its residential customers an average of 17.91¢ per kWh in 2025 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for Alabama’s price change since.
