The Residential Rate Index

The Residential Rate Index (RRI) is an independent benchmarking standard designed to help homeowners understand their energy cost exposure relative to regional peer baselines.

Our Mission

We provide impartial, data-driven insights into household energy consumption and cost structures. By operationalizing complex utility data into a simple index, we empower consumers to make informed decisions about their home energy future.

Data Sources

Our models are built on primary data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), specifically Form 861M for state-level blended rates and the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) for consumption anchors.

Institutional Independence

ResidentialRateIndex.com is an independent informational site. We are not a utility, regulator, or government agency. Our goal is transparency in the energy market, allowing homeowners to benchmark their performance against national and regional standards.
