Interpretation Limit
Current Context, Not A Score Update
The signal is state-level residential-electricity context, not a city utility rate, an individual household bill, or a complete utility-cost model.
Electricity movement is sourced at state resolution. County and city pages may inherit that state signal only with its source resolution shown; it is not a local utility-bill estimate and it does not alter the annual score.
