I'm an IT engineer and consultant, and I run kWhStats. I built the site because the public data on electricity prices is excellent but hard to reach: it sits in government spreadsheets and APIs that most people never open.
Why I built kWhStats
The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes, every month, what homes and businesses in every state pay for electricity. That is exactly what people want to know when a bill arrives, when they move, or when they compare suppliers, yet the answer usually means downloading tables and doing the arithmetic yourself. My day job is building systems that collect, check and present data reliably, so I applied the same approach here: take the official numbers, calculate them carefully, and show them in a page anyone can read in a minute.
What I do on the site
- Data pipeline. I designed the code that downloads EIA and NREL data each month, recalculates every figure and runs automated checks before anything is published.
- Writing and review. I approve the written descriptions of each state, including the sections on what drives prices there, and check the statements our data cannot verify against official sources.
- Corrections. I read every error report sent to hello@kwhstats.com and fix confirmed mistakes.
What I am not
I don't work for a utility, an electricity supplier or a broker, and I'm not a licensed energy or financial adviser.kWhStats reports what official data says; it does not tell you which plan to buy. When a page links to a paid partner, the link is marked.
