Electricity Cost Comparison by State
Comparing electricity prices between states helps you understand cost differences when relocating, planning a move, or evaluating where to live. Electricity rates vary widely across the U.S.—some states pay nearly three times more per kilowatt-hour than others.
Comparisons use each state's average residential rate and a typical monthly usage of 900 kWh. The difference is shown in dollars and as a percentage. Rates come from EIA data.
All figures are build-generated and deterministic.
