Electricity Price Index™ by State

The Electricity Price Index™ (EPI) normalizes each state's average residential electricity rate to a national baseline of 100. The baseline is the U.S. average published by the EIA — its sales-weighted U.S. total, currently 18.31¢/kWh — not an unweighted mean of the 51 jurisdiction rates. An index value above 100 means the state's rate is higher than that baseline; below 100 means it is lower.
