Rhode Island Energy rates

Rhode Island Energy has one residential plan modeled here. A typical Rhode Island home using 550 kWh a month pays about $189 a month.

Rhode Island has retail choice. Prices on this page are all-in: Rhode Island Energy’s delivery charges plus its default supply (the rate you pay if you have not chosen a supplier, often called the “price to compare”). If you buy supply from a retail supplier, Rhode Island Energy still bills delivery and the supplier’s price replaces the supply part, so the supply rate alone is well below the all-in price shown here.

Rhode Island Energy: questions

Does Rhode Island Energy have peak hours?

Not on the plans modeled here: A-16 charges the same price per kWh at every hour, so when you use power does not change the bill.

How Rhode Island Energy’s plans work

A-16 (Residential Service). One price per kWh at every hour, all year: 32.3¢. Shifting use to other hours changes nothing on this plan; using less is the only lever. Fixed charge: $11.25 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, Rhode Island Energy billed its residential customers an average of 29.45¢ 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 Rhode Island’s price change since.
