EIA estimates that in 2007, about 526 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity were used for lighting by the residential and commercial sectors.  This was equal to about 19% of the total electricity consumed by both of those sectors and 14% of total U.S. electricity consumption.

Residential lighting consumption was about 215 billion kWh, equal to about 15% of all residential electricity consumption. About 311 billion kWh was consumed for lighting by the commercial sector, which includes commercial and institutional buildings and public street and highway lighting, equal to 23% of commercial sector electricity consumption.

EIA does not have an estimate just for public street and highway lighting.
EIA estimates and forecasts for energy end-use and in residential and commercial sectors.

EIA’s most recent data available (PDF) indicates that in 2002, 62 billion kWh were consumed for lighting in manufacturing facilities, which was equal to about 2% of total U.S. electricity consumption in 2002.

Number of individual generators and generation capacities at power plants by the primary fuel/energy source used in 2008.

Downloadable databases with detailed data on individual generators and power plants.

In 2008, the “average” nuclear power plant generated about 12.4 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh). There were 65 nuclear power plants with 104 operating nuclear reactors that generated a total of 808.97 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), or almost 20% of the nation’s electricity.

Thirty-six of those plants had two or more reactors. The smallest nuclear plant has a single reactor with 476 MW of generation capacity and the largest has three reactors with a total of 3,825 MW of capacity.

The average plant capacity factor was 91.9%.

No, EIA does not collect or publish data on electricity rates, or tariffs, for the sale or purchase of electricity, or on demand charges for electricity service, nor does EIA publish retail electricity rates or prices for peak or off-peak periods (sometimes referred to as time-of-use-rates).

EIA does publish average monthly and annual retail electricity prices that are derived from data collected on revenues (in dollars) and sales (in megawatt-hours) from electric utilities. EIA’s retail electricity prices include all utility and government charges, fees, and taxes.

Individual utilities may have detailed rate/tariff schedules and demand charges. EIA is not aware of a publicly available source for this information other than individual utilities.

Average national monthly retail prices by type of customer are in Table 9.9 of Monthly Energy Review.

Average monthly retail prices by state by customer type, for most recent month available and running average for January through most recent month available.

Spreadsheet with historical average monthly retail prices by type of customer by State.

Average annual prices by type of customer for individual utilities are in Tables 6 to 10 of Electric Sales, Revenue and Price report.

EIA has estimates for total annual losses related to electricity transmission and distribution (T&D) and other losses in the State Electricity Profiles.

National level data are in the U.S. Total Profile (see link a bottom left of the Profiles page). The data are in "Table 10: Supply and Disposition of Electricity" of each Profile; scroll down each Profile page to find Table 10 and see the row for Estimated Losses in the Table.

To calculate T&D losses as a percentage, divide Estimated Losses by the result of Total Disposition minus Direct Use. Direct Use electricity is electricity that is generated at facilities that is not put onto the electricity transmission and distribution grid, and therefore does not contribute to T&D losses. In 2007, national-level losses were 6.5% of total electricity disposition excluding direct use.
