Mississippi Power Co rate plans
2 residential plans are currently open to new customers. None of them price by hour, so shifting when you use power won’t change your bill here.
What does Mississippi Power cost at a normal month’s usage?
A household using 1,000 kWh a month pays about $4,405 a year on the cheapest of the 2 plans we can price here — Residential Electric Service (R-60) Single-Phase — and $4,405 on the priciest. Same house, same wires.
| A month of | Cheapest, a year | On which plan | Priciest |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 kWh | $3,678 | Residential Electric Service (R-60) Single-Phase | $3,678 |
| 1,000 kWh | $4,405 | Residential Electric Service (R-60) Single-Phase | $4,405 |
| 2,000 kWh | $5,968 | Residential Electric Service (R-60) Single-Phase | $5,968 |
The same plan is cheapest at every level of use here, so the answer does not turn on how much you use. Estimates from the filed tariff, priced hour by hour on a household with central air — not a quote.
What does Mississippi Power Co's residential rate cost?
Mississippi Power Co files a single residential tariff, so there is no plan to choose between — everyone served here is on the same terms. That makes this page short on comparison and long on one question instead: what does that tariff actually do to a bill?
Priced hour by hour across a full year, a small apartment on this tariff comes to about $3,557 and a three-bedroom house with central air to about $4,077 — an effective 73.1¢ and 43.1¢ per kilowatt-hour once the fixed charge is spread across everything used.
With one plan and no hourly pricing, the only lever left is using less. Moving laundry or car charging to the middle of the night changes nothing here, which is worth knowing before you rearrange your evenings for no reason.
Expect the bill to swing with the weather rather than with anything you decide: the same house costs around $385 in July and $296 in February. Budget against the higher figure and the summer bill stops being a surprise.
Which plan would cost you least?
No bill upload, no sign-up. Tell us roughly what a month costs you and what runs on electricity — we price every plan against the same household and show you the gap.
That adds up to 609 kWh a year. Compare it to the total on your bill and adjust until it’s close.
| Plan | Per year | Vs best |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Electric Service (R-60) Single-PhaseThe hour never matters here — only the season. Rates peak December–March. | $3,108 | — |
| Residential Electric Service (R-60) Three-PhaseThe hour never matters here — only the season. Rates peak December–March. | $3,108 | +$0 |
An estimate, not a quote. Supply charges move month to month, and your real usage pattern is not exactly this one. What it does show reliably is the gap between plans — both are priced off the same assumptions.
