This is the entirety of their customers. First Electric Coop has an average residential electricity rate of 12.99 cents per kilowatt hour, which is 9.29% higher than Arkansas' average price of 11.89 cents and 12.43% higher than the nationwide average of 14.84 cents. Roughly 2,038,579 megawatt hours were sold by the supplier to retail end users in 2021.

The average monthly residential electric bill for a customer of First Electric Coop is $157.04 per month, while the US average is $131.84. The company currently does not produce any of the electricity that they sell. Instead, they must purchase that electricity at wholesale prices from other providers and then resell it to end consumers.
Fortunately, First Electric Coop offers net metering choices to customers of the company. This makes it cheaper for people who are interested to install solar and other electricity options as they have the ability to sell unused wattage back to their supplier.
Suppliers regularly report energy lost through heat dissipation and other causes to government agencies who track infrastructure efficiencies. First Electric Coop recently reported a loss of 3.73% of the total electricity production total. This percentage of electricity lost earns them a rank of 12th best out of 36 providers who report energy loss in the state and 663rd best out of 3509 in the country.
