Notes on these records

Residential Electric Service (R-60) Three-Phase: not available — source record inconsistent. The record bills the same fixed charge as the single-phase record, $8.34 a day. The rate schedule it cites, R-62I, sets the three-phase base charge at $2.20 a day and the single-phase one at $1.60, and its energy rates match the record's exactly. The record is not priced here until the source is corrected.Sources: URDB record 699395f40b3c59b482034078 (Mississippi Power Co, Residential Electric Service (R-60) Three-Phase); Mississippi Power, Rate Schedule R-62I, effective 17 December 2025: the source the record cites, as the Internet Archive captured it on 10 February 2026; Mississippi Power, Rate Schedule R-62, effective 18 June 2026, retrieved September 24, 2026.

The rate schedule it cites, Mississippi Power's R-62I, effective 17 December 2025, sets the single-phase base charge at $1.60 a day, and its energy rates match the record's exactly. The record's note says two riders are folded into the fixed charge, and neither accounts for the gap: the Regulatory Tax Recovery charge is $0.27 a month, and the Performance Evaluation Plan changes the schedule's own rates.
