$.1226 is the US average residential rate for March 2014. In Washington state the industrial rate is $.043

You don't need to make anything up, if you live in the right place. The OP, Sunburnt, lives in Arizona, where electrical rates are only slightly lower than the national average.
Electrical costs reported by eia are to the end user including fees and taxes. Check the foot notes.
