Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
US residential electricity averaged 18.19 cents per kWh in January–August 2026, up 6.8% from 17.03 cents a year earlier, according to preliminary EIA monthly data, with the agency's average derived from electricity sales revenue divided by sales volume. Separately, PJM's market monitor calculated roughly 39.5 trillion won in revenue differentials across four recent capacity auction scenarios that incorporate data center load. The figures matter because they tie rising household power costs to the capacity-market dynamics driven by data center demand. Watch next for finalized 2026 EIA data and September CPI electricity detail, which showed a 0.2% monthly increase.
