Questions

Is 15.81¢ what I pay per kWh with Danville?
It is what Danville's residential customers paid on average in 2025: all charges on the bill before taxes, divided by all kilowatt-hours sold, as reported to EIA. Your effective rate depends on your usage (fixed charges weigh more on small bills), your rate schedule and any rider changes since then. Divide a recent bill (less taxes) by its kWh to get yours.
How have Danville's rates changed?
From 12.77¢ in 2015 to 15.81¢ in 2025: +23.8% in total, or about 2.2% a year compounded. The most recent year moved +5.3%.
Does Danville offer net metering?
Municipal and university-owned utilities are not covered by Virginia's net-metering statute and set their own policies. Some offer a comparable retail credit, some do not; check the utility's tariff before sizing a system. Policy facts reviewed 2026-10-06.
Where does this data come from?
EIA Form 861 (annual) sales to ultimate customers, residential sector, filed by the utility. The 2025 figure is EIA's early release and may be revised. Last checked October 6, 2026.
