Eligibility / billing boundary: Rhode Island Energy A-16 September 2026 usage-based delivery components total 15.308¢/kWh (distribution, renewable-energy distribution, transmission and energy-efficiency charges). CalcuRiver adds the residential fixed Last Resort Service benchmark of 9.138¢/kWh from the 2026 LRS filing period (8.788¢ base + 0.350¢ adjustment). Monthly customer, RE Growth and LIHEAP charges are excluded; supplier choice can change supply cost.

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.
