Energy Information Administration (2015). Electric Energy Average Price: Industrial Sector | Country: USA | State: North Carolina | Energy Finance Metric: Average Price, 01/1990-11/2014. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 004-003-002.
Dataset: Reports the average retail price of electricity to ultimate customers by end-use sector. The industrial sector is an energy-consuming sector that consists of all facilities and equipment used for producing, processing, or assembling goods. It encompasses the following types of activity: manufacturing (NAICS codes 31-33); agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (NAICS code 11); mining, including oil and gas extraction (NAICS code 21); and construction (NAICS code 23). Overall energy use in this sector is largely for process heat and cooling and powering machinery, with lesser amounts used for facility heating, air conditioning, and lighting. Fossil fuels are also used as raw material inputs to manufactured products. Note: This sector includes generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal output primarily to support the above-mentioned industrial activities. Various EIA programs differ in sectoral coverage-for more information see http://www.eia.doe.gov/neic/datadefinitions/Guideforwebind.htm.
Average retail price of electricity to ultimate customers by end-use sector. Data are shown in cents per kilowatt hour (kWh). kWh is a measure of electricity defined as a unit of work or energy, measured as 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power expended for 1 hour. One kWh is equivalent to 3,412 Btu. Data are from Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-861, "Annual Electric Power Industry Report."

The Energy Information Administration (EIA), created by Congress in 1977, is an independent statistical and analytical agency within the United States Department of Energy. Its mission is to provide policy-independent data, forecasts, and analyses to promote sound policy making, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.
