Modeling boundary

Appalachian Power publishes September 2026 residential examples of $183.07 at 1,000 kWh and $344.53 at 2,000 kWh. CalcuRiver uses the incremental $161.46 between those examples as a 16.146¢/kWh current marginal benchmark, which cancels fixed charges but is not a full tariff reconstruction.

Featured planResidential Service — incremental bill-example benchmark

Eligibility / billing boundary: Appalachian Power publishes September 2026 residential examples of $183.07 at 1,000 kWh and $344.53 at 2,000 kWh. The difference implies a 16.146¢/kWh incremental benchmark across the 1,000→2,000 kWh interval, cancelling fixed monthly charges. Taxes are excluded by the utility.

The state average is a benchmark, not a substitute for this tariff. A low or high encoded period is a marginal energy price and should not be interpreted as a complete monthly bill unless the page explicitly says whole-bill modeling is supported.
